Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

 If you love oatmeal raisin cookies, you will definitely love these muffins!  This is another recipe from the famous Internet file.  I am sure everyone has such a file - you know you see a recipe that looks good on the Internet, so you print it off with the intention of someday making it, so you put the printed copy in a folder and the folder gets bigger and bigger month by month.  Miraclously you actually do try some of the recipes!  Some turn out really good and, well, some not so good.  Oh well.  I digress . . .

This is definitely a crowd pleaser!!  Here's the recipe . . .

Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

Ingredients

1 cup rolled oats (I used Quaker Brand Oatmeal)
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
6 tbsp melted butter (I always use unsalted butter)
¾ cup flour
½ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
¾ tsp baking soda
½ tsp cinnamon
1/3 cup golden raisins (you can use regular raisin if you don't have the golden ones)

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon together. Set aside.

2. Combine oats and buttermilk; let stand for 30 minutes.

3.Stir in eggs. Add brown sugar, butter, and flour mixture. Stir until just combine. Batter will be lumpy. Fold in raisins.

4.  Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling 2/3 full.

5.  Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. Makes about 12.muffins.

These are so good, especially warm from the oven with butter - YUM!!  Enjoy!
