I started with a basic oatmeal muffin recipe from my Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. It needed a lot of help. I have spent the last couple of years (I don't make muffins every day) experimenting and tweaking the recipe. For instance, I came up with the topping on my own. And I finally arrived at today's success. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Feel free to do your own experiments, and let me know how they turn out.
Oatmeal Muffins
Muffins:
1 1/3 cups flour
3/4 cup oats
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 cup milk or non-dairy creamer
1/4 cup oil
Topping:
2 Tablespoons brown sugar
1 Tablespoon chilled butter
1-2 Tablespoons chopped nuts
1) Preheat oven to 400. Grease muffin tin or line with baking cups.
2) Whisk together dry ingredients; set aside (whisking helps eliminate lumps). Beat together wet ingredients; add to dry mixture, stirring just until moistened. Spoon batter into muffin cups. Mix the topping ingredients and sprinkle over each muffin.
3) Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes before serving with butter. Makes 12 muffins.

Mmmm, muffins.
I also usually make oatmeal, but I usually end up putting some kind of fruit in it;blueberries or diced apples or--hmm, that's pretty much it (I tried diced pears once. Wouldn't recommend it).
Now I want to make muffins for tomorrow morning, but maybe 10:30 at night is too late to start something.
