Brown Sugar Oat Muffins

By Addie

With Kansas being one of the top wheat-producing states, it seems only fitting to share a recipe containing whole wheat flour. These are great muffins to have for breakfast or a late night snack with a cup of hot cocoa.

Ingredients

• 1 cup old-fashioned oats
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the first six ingredients. In another small bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened.

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake at 400° for 15-17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.

Easy vegan conversion. Everyone loves this in my family and at parties!

As is, this recipe is just OK. But add a teaspoon of cinnamon and a handful of rum-soaked raisins, and they are wonderful!

I had hoped that they would be much better than they turned out. I bake muffins all the time, but these were very gritty & dry. I think that too much whole wheat flour was called for in the recipe. I probably won't make them again.

The base recipe is good. I added 1 tap of cinnamon (I thought it was 1/2, but I grabbed the wRong spoon), a dash of pumpkin pie spice and chopped up a small granny smith. I only had a 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour so I used that and substituted all purpose flour for the rest. Came out really tasty. I'll use all whole wheat flour next time. Texture wasn't cake like, just right.

I liked these but was not crazy about them, but I do want to try with the cinnamon.

Just what those muffins needed was a teaspoon of cinnamon. Good recommendation. Not too dense, will put this in the recipe box!

I used all white all-purpose flour and added a tsp. of cinnamon like others had suggested. These muffins are really good!

These muffins are really good. I am always trying to find a healthy snack for my kids to eat. They really liked them. I did add 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp nutmeg. Great recipe. I will be making these again

These muffins are great! I used skim milk instead of 2% just because that's all I had on hand. I also added 1 tsp. cinnamon and 1/2 cup of raisins. They are so good. Sweet but not too sweet.

I love the texture of these. I only had skim milk handy and I reduced the oil and they are delicious! I added some saigon cinnamon and chocolate chips to the last quarter of my batch - awesome!

Excellent recipe! The old-fashioned oats gave the muffins a bit of texture, which was nice---almost like nuts. The only change I made was to add a teaspoon of nutmeg. These are great plain, or with a bit of butter or jam. I will be making these again, definitely!

This is a real muffin recipe. So many muffin recipes are more like cake. I've tried close to twenty recipes without much luck. This one is great because it is the right "muffin" consistency and flavor. I made it with my son who loved the muffins and was very proud. We made it exactly as the recipe called, but I think it could be altered easily with fruit or nuts, etc. That said, this one doesn't need altering. Alas, I have found muffin happiness!

These were delicious. I added a teaspoon of cinnamon to the dry ingredients. Next time I will add some chopped walnuts and some raisins.

I can't wait to try these! If you don't like the wheat flour, though, just replace it with the same amount of all-purpous flour. the wheat flour just makes it healthier.

This is nice.

Omgosh, were these good! Very moist! I did add some cinnamon..which gave them a great flavor! I will definitely make these again.

All 3 of my children thought that this was a fantastic treat for morning tea! And they didn't have any idea that it was actually healthy for them!

I didn't care for it myself, but I can always taste the whole wheat. I can say, however, that not a one was left at the snack table I cook for every Sunday. For those who like this type of muffin, I'd have to say it's a good recipe.

These are delicious with almost a honey-like taste. But we thought they were a little "plain"...will add raisins and nuts next time.

It's hard to find a whole wheat flour recipe that tastes good...but this one is outstanding! Still very moist, baked up beautifully! If you are watching the fat, no need to add the butter, it's that good!
