Oatmeal Muffins

These are delicious muffins and very simple to make. I add good quality semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips if I want to spoil hungry kids. Sultana raisins are a very nice addition as well.

I love oatmeal. I eat cooked oatmeal almost every morning, and it is one food item that will always be in my pantry. Heart healthy, low sodium and a great way to start the day.

Pre-heat oven to 400 F

Line a muffin tin with paper liners

Ingredients & Method:

1 Cup of whole milk or buttermilk

1 Cup quick-cooking rolled oats

Mix together and let stand for about an hour.

1 Egg

1/2 Cup sunflower oil

1/2 Cup brown sugar

1 Teaspoon pure Vanilla extract

Mix together and add to the oat mixture

1 Cup unbleached flour

1 Teaspoon baking powder

1/2 Teaspoon baking soda

1/4 Teaspoon sea salt

1/2 Teaspoon cinnamon

Sift together and add to above mixture. Stir gently until just blended. Do not over mix.

Fill muffin liners evenly throughout.

Bake at 400 F for about 18 minutes, depending on your oven. Check with sharp knife so that it comes out clean.

Optional:

Add 1/2 Cup good quality chocolate chips, or sultana raisins, or chopped walnuts and dates.

Mini Muffins:

I like to make mini muffins for healthy snacks. These are great for kid or grownup lunches too.

Line a mini muffin tin with mini paper liners. Bake for about 9 minutes. Voila! Mini muffins!
