Easy Oatmeal Blueberry Muffins

With school right around the corner, mornings can be quite chaotic trying to get the kids to eat a good breakfast. Well, I've found a recipe that I thought would be great, especially for the quick out-the-door-for-school kind of breakfast. This is a quick recipe that can be made the night before so there is no rushing around in the morning.

Ingredients:

1 C. Buttermilk
1 C. Oats
1 C. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 large egg
1/4 C. butter, melted and cooled
3/4 C brown sugar
1 C. blueberries, fresh or frozen

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray or use paper muffin cups. In a small bowl, combine buttermilk and oats. Let mixture soak for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk the egg with a fork until light in color. Add melted butter, brown sugar and oat mixture to the egg.

Gently fold wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not over mix. Fold in blueberries. Fill muffin tins (or paper cups) 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

Makes 12 servings.
