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.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the taste and texture of your muffins.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first few minutes, then reduce the temperature. This will help the muffins to rise and brown evenly.
- Don't overbake the muffins. Check them for doneness with a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Enjoy the muffins warm, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, these plain ol' fashioned muffins are a great recipe to have in your repertoire.
