3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Muffins
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1 cup sour cream

2
Preheat the oven to 325u00b0F. Line two standard muffin tins with paper liners.
3
Whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.

Beat the brown sugar and vegetable oil in the bowl of an electric mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add the egg, sour cream, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture mixture in three additions, blending until just combined.

Transfer the muffins to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
