my favorite muffin recipe

I *almost* know this recipe by heart, that is how often I make it.  It's a base recipe and each ingredient can be substituted using various options to create completely different muffin combinations. Most often though, I make blueberry and they never last very long in our home.

Ingredient list

3 cups flour

2 cups oats

2 cups milk

2 eggs

1 cup brown sugar (I didn't pack it, but you can if you want)

4 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

1 cup blueberries (although I never measure, I just pour them in--& I use frozen)

*capful vanilla

*tsp cinnamon

*tsp nutmeg (I use it in everything!)

*optional ingredients & I don't really measure, just sprinkle in the mix, but that is a safe guesstimate. ;-)

Preheat oven to 400

put out butter so it can soften or melt

Mix together all the ingredients.

Pour about 1/4-1/3 cup in each muffin tin

Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar & cinnamon on top of each muffin (optional)

Bake for about 15-20 minutes (ovens vary--my antique stove always cooks longer)

Voila'!

Perfect for breakfast, snack or tea time.

What a lovely way to start (or end)  the day.
