Time 1h30m

Yield 10 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

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 cup raisins (optional) or 1 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Steps:

  • 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).
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F, and line a muffin tin with 10 paper muffin cups.
  • Stir the egg and sugar into the oat mixture, followed by the butter.
  • Pile all the remaining dry ingredients together atop the mixture, then stir them into the batter until just combined.
  • Carefully fold in any add-ins without overmixing, which causes the muffins to be tough.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the the prepared muffin cups, then bake in the middle of your preheated oven for about 25 minutres, or until the muffins are firm and golden brown.
  • Let cool in the pan a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool further.

Tips:

  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh barley flakes and rolled oats for the best texture and flavor.
  • Measure Accurately: Precise measurements are crucial for successful baking, especially when working with dry ingredients like flours and oats.
  • Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flours, resulting in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a Muffin Pan with Paper Liners: Paper liners make it easy to remove the muffins from the pan and prevent sticking.
  • Fill the Muffin Cups Evenly: For uniform baking, fill each muffin cup with the same amount of batter.
  • Avoid Overbaking: Keep an eye on the muffins in the oven to prevent overbaking. The ideal is to bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the Muffins Cool Before Serving: Allow the muffins to cool slightly before serving to make them easier to handle and prevent them from falling apart.
