Oatmeal Cinnamon-Sugar Muffins

These muffins have an excellent taste and texture. They are wonderfully moist and soft inside. They are perfect for breakfast: a couple of them keeps me going the whole morning. They can be frozen and come out of the freezer just as fresh as from the oven. I found this recipe in Internet several months ago and I made little changes on it until I got the perfect muffins for me. I hope you will enjoy them as well! In the preparation time I don't include the time while the oats and the sour milk are standing in the bowl (1 hour).
