Ingredients

1 egg
1 cup skim milk
¼ cup oil
1⅓ cups flour
¾ cup oatmeal
⅓ cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

. Preheat the oven to 400º.
Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners or use a spray.
In a medium bowl beat together the eggs, milk, and oil. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Gently stir this into the egg mixture until just combined. To have light, fluffy muffins, do not overmix the batter.
If you are adding fruit to the batter, coat the fruit first with 1 tablespoon flour and then gently fold the fruit into the batter so the fruit will not sink to the bottom of the muffins. Or add fruit to each muffin cup.
Spoon the batter into the muffin tins, filling them about 2/3 of the way up.
Bake at 400º for 8 minutes, then lower the oven temperature to 350º and bake for another 5-8 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the muffins in the tin on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the tin and place them on the wire rack to continue cooling.
Store the muffins covered at room temperature.

EXTRA TIP:

LINERS: With foil liners, you can remove the muffins warm. With paper liners, cool the muffin completely first.

TOPS: For an extra nice-looking muffin top, add some extra oatmeal flakes and/or pieces of fruit if you are using fruit. Place them on top of each muffin batter before baking.

LEFTOVERS? Freeze the muffins in a freezer bag or container for up to 1 month. Remove the muffins from the freezer bag or container and place them on a wire rack to thaw. OR, TO REHEAT FROZEN MUFFINS, place the muffins in the microwave for 20-30 seconds or in a 350°F. oven or toaster oven for 5-10 minutes.
