Oatmeal Muffins

1 Cup butter milk ( I use whatever milk is around)

1 Cup Oatmeal

2 tbsp. butter or margarine

½ cup brown sugar

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup flour (I use ½ cup white flour and ½ cup whole wheat flour)

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. baking soda

½ tsp. salt.

These muffins are a staple food product at our house.  We like to double the recipe and add 1 cup mashed bananas and some chocolate chips or a couple of apples cut in chunks with 1/2 tsp. nutmeg.

Preheat Oven To: 400

Yield: 1 dozen muffins

Add milk to oatmeal and let stand.  Cream butter and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.  Stir well.  Add dry ingredients and stir.  Add in oatmeal mixture and stir.  Fill greased (I spray them with Pam or its no name equivalent) muffin tins ¾ full and bake 15 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
