Oatmeal Muffins

I got this recipe from my next-door neighbor. These muffins are so, so tasty and easy! This batter is best if made the night before, because it gives the oats a chance to break down a bit. Also, the batter keeps for weeks in the fridge so you can just bake off the muffins in the morning on your way out the door.

1 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 oil
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

Mix oats, buttermilk, egg, sugar and oil. Allow to sit for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to bake, grease muffin tins (or you can use paper liners) and fill 3/4 way full. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 - 18 minutes. Muffins will be lightly golden on top. Makes 12 muffins.
