(Belated) Muffin Wednesday: Golden Oatmeal

I missed work yesterday and the CE2 students were all out at Law Day, a field trip to Portland State University, so we missed Muffin Wednesday. But never fear, I baked this morning: Golden Oatmeal Muffins.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
12-cup muffin tin, greased or paper lined

1 c oats
1 c buttermilk or sour cream (I made sour milk with vinegar)
1/2 c vegetable oil or melted shortening (I used canola oil)
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 c flour
1 t baking powder
1/2 t baking soda
1 t salt

1. Combine oats and buttermilk. Let stand 5 minutes. Add oil, brown sugar and egg.

2. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to oat mixture, stirring just until moistened.

3. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tin, filling to the top. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

These were very good, though nothing spectacular. But they were easy to make and used common ingredients... and received good reviews from the masses. YAY!
