Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Line a muffin tin with paper liners.

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups old fashioned rolled oats and 1 cup whole milk. Set aside to soak for about 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, mix together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

After the oats have soaked, add 1/2 cup light brown sugar and 1/3 cup vegetable oil to the oats and milk mixture. Stir to combine.

Crack 2 eggs into a separate bowl, whisk, and then add to the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Use a 1/3 cup measuring scoop to fill each muffin cup almost full with batter.

Sprinkle a little turbinado sugar and some oats on top of each muffin if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven at 425°F for 7 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C) and bake for an additional 12 to 15 minutes until the muffins have a little bounce on top.
