• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder

Directions

• In a bowl, soak oats in buttermilk for 15 minutes. Stir in egg, sugar and oil.      Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into oat mixture just until moistened. Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400° for 16-18 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack.

These are really good and they're fiber rich but they dry out quickly.

Original source unknown - I got the recipe from my sister, Donna!

These are great! Not too sweet, nice & fluffy with a little crunch around the edges. I'll be making these again! Made 10 muffins.
