Why can't oatmeal muffins taste more like oatmeal cookies? These do! The trick is to first caramelize the oatmeal. Enjoy the nice, deep oatmeal flavor. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
2/3 cup rolled oats |
2/3 cup brown sugar, divided |
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice |
2/3 cup water |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup rolled oats |
4 teaspoons baking powder |
2 teaspoons wheat germ |
1 egg, lightly beaten |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1 1/3 cups raisins |
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a muffin pan, or use paper liners.
2. Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook 2/3 cup oats, 1/3 cup brown sugar, cinnamon and allspice until golden brown. Stir in 2/3 cup water and remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar. Cook until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. In a large bowl, combine flour, 1/3 cup uncooked oats, baking powder and wheat germ. Whisk together egg and evaporated milk. Make a well in the center of flour mixture, and pour in egg mixture and cooked oatmeal. Mix just until combined. Dredge raisins in 1 tablespoon flour, then fold into batter. Spoon into muffin cups.
4. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
