This is a nice base recipe to add things into --- like berries, apples, or chocolate chips.
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 large egg
6TB light brown sugar
2 TB canola oil
2 TB unsweetened applesauce
1 cup whole wheat white flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
Add-ins: berries, diced apple, bittersweet chocolate chips/chunks, craisins, cinnamon-sugar top
Preheat 400F and use foil liners or parchment liners or spray tins w/ non-stick spray.
Soak oats in buttermilk for about 15 minutes. Beat egg lightly in another dish, add to buttermilk/oats with brown sugar, oil, applesauce and whisk til combined.
Whisk together in a large bowl the flours, salt, baking powder, baking soda.
Add liquid ingredients to the dry, and fold together or mix w/ a large spoon very gently. Don't overmix the muffin!
Fold in whatever you are adding, but know that if you add too much it'll make a soggy or fall-apart muffin. No more than a cup of anything. I've tried successfully fresh blueberries and in another batch semi-sweet chips (just a 1/2 cup). Apple chunks or frozen berries will yield a heavier/soggy muffin (doesn't keep well, but yummeh for a day). I also love to sprinkle whole oats on top w/ cinnamon sugar.
Fill up muffins evenly, this will make 12.
Bake 14-16 minutes if plain, toothpick should come out clean. Bake 16-18 minutes if using fruit (bit longer for apple). Just keep checking, and check early.
