BLUEBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Combine milk and oats. Set aside for 20 minutes so the oats puff up and soak up some moisture. This is crucial to the recipe! (I usually melt the butter now so it has a few minutes to cool.) Don't do this the night before as that's too long for soaking. If you find the oats haven't soaked up any moisture after 20 minutes, give it a stir and wait 10 more minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or use cupcake liners.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl until combined. Set aside. Whisk the melted butter, honey, egg, and vanilla extract together in a medium bowl until combined. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stir a few times, then add the soaked oats (milk included, do not drain) and blueberries. Fold everything together gently just until combined.
• Spoon the batter into liners, filling them all the way to the top. Top with oats and a light sprinkle of coconut sugar, if desired. Bake for 5 minutes at 425 then, keeping the muffins in the oven, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (177°C). Bake for an additional 16-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The total time these muffins take in the oven is about 22-23 minutes, give or take. (For mini muffins, bake 11-13 minutes at 350°F (177°C).) Allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the muffin pan, then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
• Muffins stay fresh covered at room temperature for a few days, then transfer to the fridge for up to 1 week.

BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. and grease 14 to 18 muffin cups well. (I grease a whole set of 12 on one pan and then grease the middle 6 on a second pan. This recipes makes 14 to 18 muffins depending on size OR you can do 12 regular sized muffins and about 24 mini muffins.)
• In a medium bowl, add the oatmeal and the milk, stir to combine, and set aside.
• In a second medium bowl, add the oil and brown sugar, and mix to combine until the sugar looks smooth, about 1 minute.
• Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
• Add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, cloves, and salt to the egg mixture, and fold to combine.
• Add the oat and milk mixture to the flour and egg mixture, and fold until just combined, careful to not over-stir.
• Place the batter into the prepared pans, filling the cups 1/2 full.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the centers are cooked through and nothing comes out on a toothpick when you insert it into the center. (Mini muffins will bake in 14 to 16 minutes.)
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing the muffins from the pan to finish cooling on a wire rack (if you leave them in the muffin tin they sweat and the bottoms get soggy).
• Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
• This recipes freezes well.

OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL MUFFIN

Steps:

• Gather up 3 bowls.
• In the first bowl (this should be the largest bowl), place 1 cup of Old Fashioned Oats. Pour the milk into the measuring cup and add the vinegar or lemon juice to the milk. Mix it a little bit then pour into the bowl with the oats. Stir to be sure the oats are relatively evenly coated. Let stand for at least an hour, grab your keys and take a stroll around the neighborhood, or watch a little TV.
• In the second bowl, mix 1/3 cup softened butter (or shortening--but I prefer the buttery taste), 1/2 cup Splenda for Baking, 1 tablespoon of Molasses (you can substitute brown sugar for both the Splenda and Molasses) and 1 egg.
• In the third bowl, sift 1/2 cup All purpose flour, 1/2 Whole Wheat Flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda and 1 teaspoon salt together.
• After the oats have soaked for an hour, gently fold the butter/sugar mixture and the flour mixture into the oats alternatively. You may add additional ingredients. Raisins and Walnuts are good. I have put chocolate chips in with a very nice result. I have also used Ghiadelli White Chocolate Chips and a couple chopped macadamia nuts.
• Spray some Pam into the bottom of a muffin tin. You can of course also use muffin tin liners. Fill each cup a 2/3 full.
• Bake in a 400 degree oven (preheated) for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Cool off and enjoy.
• Allowable substitutions in the recipe are as follow: *You may substitute Lemon Juice for White Vinegar to "sour" the milk. *You may substitute Shortening for Butter or you can substitute unsweetened Apple Sauce for the butter. *You may substitute Brown Sugar for both the Splenda and Molasses.

BLUEBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425°F. Lightly grease the cups of a standard 12-cup muffin pan.
• Blend together the dry ingredients and gently stir in the blueberries until coated.
• Beat the liquid ingredients together until foamy.
• Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry just until blended. Don't stir too much or your muffins will be chewy!
• Fill the cups of the muffin pans almost to the top.
• Bake the muffins for 15 to 17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the center muffins comes out clean. Remove them from the oven, and after 5 minutes turn out of muffin pan and let cool completely.

LEFTOVER OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F, and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and any add-ins. In a small bowl, lightly beat the egg. Add the oatmeal to the egg, and mash with a fork to break up any clumps. Add the oil, then 1/3 cup milk. Whisk to combine.
• Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture, and stir briefly to just combine. If batter is too thick, add a little more milk as needed to thin. Mixture should be quite thick but not so thick that it is difficult to stir in the dry ingredients.
• Using a 1/3 cup scoop, divide the batter evenly between the wells of the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top of muffins if desired.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of one of the muffins comes out clean. The muffins won't brown much on top and might even look a little anemic if the cinnamon sugar isn't used.
• Note: It's always going to be just a bit of a guess as to how much milk these muffins need and that depends how thick the oatmeal you use happens to be.
