Cinnamon-Y Oatmeal Flax Muffins - oats

Method

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly grease muffin tin.
• In a medium bowl, add oats and milk to soak together for 15 minutes, so the oats can soften.
• While the oats are soaking, in a separate bowl combine the flour, ground flax seed, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• To the soaking oats, stir in the beaten egg, sugar, oil, and vanilla extract.
• Once the 15 minutes has elapsed for the oat mixture, add the dry ingredients and stir until well blended. Fill the muffin cups about 3/4 full.
• Place the pan in the preheated oven on the middle rack, and bake for 15 minutes.
• Recipe notes: You can use old fashioned or quick cooking oats, or a combination of both, in this recipe. You can use brown sugar or granulated sugar. You can use any light flavored oil you choose, such as vegetable or canola oil. It's a very versatile recipe.
