It may be gloomy on the outside, what with cloudy, wet skies and cool temperatures, but that makes it a perfect morning to whip up a batch of Hubby's favourite Oatmeal Muffins.
Crispy on the outside with a hint of chewy spiced oatmeal on the inside, these are MARVELOUS with a fresh cup of coffee or tea.
Oatmeal Muffins
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease 12 medium muffin cups.
SIFT TOGETHER
1 cup flour
3 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Pinch of cloves
Pinch of salt

3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup lightly packed brown sugar
BEAT TOGETHER
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Love to...it's feeling a little chilly this morning despite the sun. I can just imagine the fragrance in your home this morning...hmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteYum! My husband went through a muffin stage when he wanted muffins for breakfast everyday. Now days we usually have oatmeal, but boy does a muffin ever sound good! PS, we might be kindred spirits. I've found quite a few through blogging. It's so much fun to find people the appreciate old movies, books and gardens. And just plain pretty things!
ReplyDeletewish I lived closer...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the recipe! They sound wonderful, wish I could reach through the computer and take one off of the plate! I can almost smell them. It is very hot where we are today, close to 100. As much as I would like some fresh baked goodies, I don't think I can make myself turn the oven on. It's one of those hot Georgia days when even, with the air conditioning on you have to move kind of slow or you get overheated. Enjoy your rainy morning to the fullest and have a great day! Delisa :)
ReplyDeleteHoly moley. That sounds like a great, big, thick cookie to me! Delish!
ReplyDeleteI've already printed out your recipe. As soon as you mentioned crispy and chewy you had me. Sounds like they have some real "character" to them, as my Dad would say.
ReplyDeleteOh, my...this is such a lovely spot in blogland! I breathe deeply when I visit.
ReplyDeleteI must try those muffins. I know my husband would love them!
And I love your reading recommendations, too. Happy Summer Day!
Great way to start the morning! Thanks for sharing. I am just about to make a batch of snickerdoodles!
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing better than a muffin straight out of the oven to warm up the day. :) These look delicious.
ReplyDeleteHi Brenda! I just wanted to let you know that I received the Iris book mark in the mail today. It is so beautiful and smells heavenly. Thank you so much, I really appreciate it and will use often! Have a lovely and restful evening! Delisa :)
