Oatmeal Muffins

We had these over the weekend - from the Penzey Spice Catalog and we loved them, so I had to share before filing it away in the cook book!

Ingredients:
1 Cup Rolled Oats
1 Cup Flour
1/3 Cup Sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 to 1 tsp Nutmeg
1 to 2 tsp Cinnamon
1 Cup Raisins or chopped, dried apricots
3/4 chopped nuts
1 egg beaten
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/2 Cup Oil
3/4 Cup Milk

Directions:
In large bowl, combine Oats, Flour, Baking Powder, Salt, Nutmeg, and Cinnamon and Mix well. Add Raisins and nuts and mix. In a separate bowl, combine the liquid ingredients and mix. Add the liquid ingredients to the dry and stir until just moistened. Pour into greased muffin tin and bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. Tops should just be browned.

We aren't big nutmeg fans, so I reduced that to 1/4 teaspoon and used the full 2 teaspoons of cinnamon. We used pecans and raisins in our version and I will definitely be making these again!
