Buttermilk oatmeal muffins are a filling way to start the day! These have a warm comforting flavor without being overly sweet.

 

I love muffins!  They are one of my favorite foods!  I found this buttermilk oatmeal muffin recipe years ago, but I'm not sure where.   They are not overly sweet, but have a comforting, eating something warm on a cold morning quality to them.  We like to eat them warm and slathered with butter.

How to make these muffins:

  1. Pour the buttermilk over the quick oatmeal in a mixing bowl.  Let sit for ½ hour before adding the remaining ingredients.  Do not skip this step.  During this time the oatmeal with absorb the buttermilk and soften.  
  2. Preheat the oven to 350, line a muffin tin with liners and measure out the remaining ingredients and set aside while you wait.
  3. After the half hour, stir in the brown sugar.  Mix well and break up any clumps of brown sugar.
  4. Stir in the egg and canola oil.
  5. Add the baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour.  Mix just until combined.
  6. Divide the batter among 12 muffin cups that have been lined with liners.  The muffin cups with be quite full, but these muffins don't rise super high so they will be fine.
  7. Bake the muffins at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.  A toothpick should come out clean.

Steps for making these oatmeal muffins

Can I use rolled oats instead of quick oats in these oatmeal muffins?

Yes, but you will need to pulse them a few times in a food processor until the oat pieces are the same size as quick oats.

Are quick oats the same as oatmeal?

I get this question a lot and more often than not the oatmeal you have in your cupboard is quick cooking oatmeal.  Quick oats come in larger packages, and are stocked in more abundance than other oatmeal options.  You actually have to put in more effort to find rolled oats or steel cut ones.  So take another look at the package you oatmeal came in and it will tell you what kind you have.

    I only buy old fashioned oatmeal. Since you presoak the oatmeal in buttermilk anyway why not use either? I love the oatmeal texture. Also added 1t. Vanilla. Very good muffins.
