Buttermilk Oatmeal Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 cup quick-cooking oats
• 1 cup buttermilk (fine if you make with lemon juice/milk)
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar (these are sweet, can do a little less)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour or wheat
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Directions

• 1. In a bowl, soak oats in buttermilk for about 15 minutes. Stir in egg, sugar and oil. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into oat mixture just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° until muffins test done, 16-18 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.
