RAISIN OATMEAL MUFFINS From Jan From Mass

Contributed By: Linda Permar

Ingredients:

1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup melted butter or vegetable oil
1 cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 to 3/4 cup raisins, craisins or currants

Method:

Preheat oven to 400°F degrees.
Note: If buttermilk is not on hand, 1/2 cup milk and 1/2 cup sour cream or
yogurt may be substituted. Try different flavors of yogurt for new flavor
variations!

Pour the buttermilk (or other liquid) over oatmeal and allow to soak while
mixing the dry ingredients. Add egg and sugar to the oatmeal mixture and
combine well.

Note: If desired, soak raisins, craisins or currants in 2 tablespoons rum 15
minutes before mixing into batter to plump, refresh and add extra flavor.
They can also be heated in water in the microwave for 30 seconds or so for a
similar effect.

In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients and mix together well. Pour in
the melted butter or vegetable oil; stir. Add raisins, craisins, currants
(or a mixture of these). Combine all ingredients and stir together just
until mixed.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12-14 medium or 6 Texas style muffins.
