directions
- Muffin tins, greased--about 12 medium cups.
- Preheat oven to 350 F.

- Allow the oats to soak for 30 minutes or longer.
- (Sometimes I will let them go overnight.) On a length of wax paper sift the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder.
- Stir the shortening and beaten egg into the oatmeal mixture.
- Blend in dry ingredients and mix only long enough to moisten.
- Drop in brown sugar.
- Stir but don't beat.
- Ideally, the brown sugar should remain suspended in the batter in small pea-size chunks.
- Spoon batter into the muffin tins.
- Bake in the oven until brown.
- Remove muffins from the oven.
- Gently loosen with knife around muffin and turn from muffin tins and serve while they are hot.
- They taste good cold.

These are one of my favorite muffins. I've been making them for many years, and usually add 1/3 to 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips and 1 tsp. vanilla extract. Sometimes I'll substitute 1/4 cup of the white flour with whole wheat with lovely results, too. Moist and tender and especially delicious while still very warm.

These were a big hit. I made a slight substitution. I had made Apple Butter so when I doubled the recipe here I used 1-1/2 cups Buttermilk and 1/2 cup Apple Butter. This added some great flavour to the muffins then I also put it out to spread on the muffins afterwards. <br/><br/>Thanks for sharing.<br/>T.L.

Very similar to my normal oatmeal muffin recipe but I usually use 3/4 cup buttermik and 1/4 cup frozen orange juice and soak for at least 1 hr. The orange juice gives a nice flavor. Other than that the recipe is almost the same. I find that 1 tsp. of baking powder is enough with the baking soda. The possibilities are endless as to what you add - raisins, cranberries, apricots, apple, etc. Use your imagination. Thanks for a good basic recipe.

My husband and I really enjoyed these muffins. I did alter them a bit to add more fiber and less fat. I used 2/3 cup of whole wheat pastry flour and 1/3 cup of white flour, a 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead of the oil but did add 1 1/2 tsp of oil for texture. I also added some cinnamon (about a 1/2 tsp but did not measure), some fresh grated nutmeg and about a 1/2 cup of craisons. I look forward to making them again soon.

The texture of these muffins was perfect. I made one and a half batches and replaced 2/3 of the oil with unsweetened applesauce and half 2/3 of the flour required with whole wheat flour. I also added 1/3 cup of raisins and 1 tsp of cinnamon and 1/2 tsp all spice. Next time, I may actually try adding even more cinnamon.
