Oatmeal Muffins

Soak the rolled oats and raisins in the milk. This is best done for at least 20 minutes, you can totally do it overnight if you want as well. Soaking the rolled oats makes the muffins soft and fluffy, soaking the raisins makes sure they are soft juicy and packed with sweetness

Heat the oven to 180 degrees celsius approx 350 F

Prepare a 12 cup muffin tray, grease it or line with paper cups

Place flour, baking powder, cinnamon and sugar in a large mixing bowl, use either a whisk or fork to combine them

If using butter, melt the butter

To the soaked oats; add the egg, melted butter/oil, vanilla and mix well

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently combine until just mixed.

Portion batter into the 12 cup muffin tray

Combine the second measure of oats with the second measusre of brown sugar and sprinkle on top of theuncooked muffin

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until when pressed in the centre the muffin springs back

Allow to cool in the tray for 5 minutes before removing and cooling completely on a rack (although these muffins are delcious warm with a little butter)
