Oatmeal Muffins

1. 1

   In a large bowl combine the oatmeal and buttermilk or sour milk. If you have the chance, let it stand for a few minutes (I let it stand for at least 20 min cause then the oatmeal isn't too chewy), for the oatmeal to absorb some of the buttermilk. Add the egg, sugar and oil. Beat very well with a wire whisk. Add the flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Mix again, until all of the dry particles are moistened. Do not over beat. It should only take about a 20 or 30 strokes by hand to mix it up enough. Spoon the batter into a dozen well oiled muffin cups. Bake at 400 degrees for about 15-20 minutes. Serve hot.

   You can make sour milk by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of milk.

3. 3

   To make these orange cranberry muffins add 1/2 cup dried cranberries soaked in OJ (just enough to cover the cranberries) add both cranberries and juice into the mix above and bake as normal.

4. 4

   You can add apples or raisins and even chocolate chips.
