1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1 cup buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 cup packed down brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 1 cup raisins (optional) or 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1
In a large bowl, combine the oats, and the buttermilk and let stand for one hour (30 minutes will do if you are in a rush).
2
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F, and line a muffin tin with 10 paper muffin cups.
3
Stir the egg and sugar into the oat mixture, followed by the butter.
4
Pile all the remaining dry ingredients together atop the mixture, then stir them into the batter until just combined.
5
Carefully fold in any add-ins without overmixing, which causes the muffins to be tough.
6

7
Let cool in the pan a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool further.

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.
