I found this recipe one day and decided to give it a try. Oatmeal and only 1/4 cup of brown sugar, not bad at all! This muffin is not very sweet even with 3/4 cup of raisins. I'll try adding 1 cup of raisins instead in the next try. That, and also some cocoa powder and stars to decorate the muffins to make them more attractive for my son.
My son refused to taste the muffin, I personally love the end product. They are delish! I prefer to have them warm (by nuking them for 15 seconds on medium high) and feel the melted chocolate oozing into my mouth. Go make yours today!
Ingredients:
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup oat (not quick cook oat)
1 large egg, room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 cup + 2 tablespoons of flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup raisins (will use 1 cup next time)
1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks/chips (I used dark eating chocolate and cut them up in chunks)
Steps:
1. Soak oat in buttermilk for at least an hour.
2. Preheat oven to 175C. Grease or line muffin pans.
3. Crack one egg into the oat + buttermilk mixture. Stir in brown sugar, then butter.
4. Sift remaining ingredients into the bowl. Do not overmix.
5. Add in raisins and chocolate chunks and combine gently.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Enjoy your fruit of labour!
