Ingredients:
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup milk
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter,

1 egg, slightly beaten
Directions - Oatmeal Muffins Recipe:
Position the rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400
degrees. Grease a standard 12-muffin pan or line with paper cups.
Combine oatmeal and milk in a large bowl. Cover and let sit in
refrigerator for 1 hour. Remove oatmeal mixture from refrigerator and
add melted butter, egg, and brown sugar. Stir well. Set aside.
In a medium-sized bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda,
nutmeg and cinnamon. Add dry ingredients to oatmeal mixture. Mix together with a few light
strokes, until the dry ingredients are moistened.
Do not over mix - the batter should be lumpy.
Pour
the oatmeal muffin batter into the muffin cups. Fill cups about
two-thirds full with batter. Sprinkle the top of
each muffin with cinnamon and sugar before baking.
Bake until a toothpick
inserted in 1 or 2 of the muffins comes out clean, 15 to 20 minutes. Let
cool for 2 to 3 minutes before removing from the pan.
Recipe yields 12 oatmeal muffins.
