Jeweled Oat Muffins
Yield: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 6 teaspoons plum jam
- 6 teaspoons apricot jam
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine oats and buttermilk and let stand for 2 minutes.
- Stir in egg and melted butter.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add to oat mixture and stir until just combined.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees F.

- Bake until a wooden pick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 18 minutes.

Notes
Any fruit jam works well on top of these muffins. Children especially love them baked as mini muffins, served with cold milk or hot cocoa.
