Spiced Oatmeal Muffins

I have been making muffins weekly lately & I have loved having them as snacks in the mornings! These were so good and very fall! Although I will probably hold off making these again until October/November they were still so tasty to have! I found the recipe on Five Heart Home & you can find it HERE.

The Bean made these with me and I was so happy to have my stylish little side kick baking with me!

She sported my chef hat with a little bow and a darling apron that we found on sale at Target! 

Start by soaking 2 cups of rolled oats in 2 cups of butter milk for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

While the oats were soaking, I mixed up the dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl. Combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, 2 teaspoons of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of nutmeg (I reduced this to a 1/2 teaspoon). Set the dry ingredients aside.

Once the oats have soaked in buttermilk for 30 minutes to 1 hour, mix in 1 cup of brown sugar and 2 eggs, 1 cup of butter melted and cooled and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in 3 shifts, mixing until just combined between each addition.

The Bean wanted to show off the cupcake liners she chose, she said they were perfect for Spring! Prep a muffin tin with cupcake liners or with cooking spray.

Fill each cup to be 3/4 of the way full with batter.

Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes (mine were in for 22 minutes) at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Cool the muffins for a while in the muffin tin before transferring them to a cooling rack to cool completely before enjoying!
