Good Morning Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins


I have been making these for 7 years, and eating them for 25. These muffins are some of the best around. They're delicious, and they're not terrible for you! It's a win-win. The real challenge with these muffins is getting one before the rest of house eats them all.

Ingredients
- 1 c oatmeal
- 1 c buttermilk
- 1/3 c brown sugar
- 3-4 Tbsp oil
- 1 egg
- 3/4 c flour
- 3/4 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 - 1/2 c chocolate chips (I always use 1/2 cup!)
- Optional: 1 smashed banana



1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease and line 12 muffin cups.

2. Combine the oatmeal, buttermilk, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Let sit for 30 minutes so the oatmeal can absorb some of the liquid.

3. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.



4. Add the dry ingredients and chocolate chips (and banana) to the oatmeal mixture. Stir until the flour is just blended- try not to overstir.

5. Bake for 15 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Pairs well with a glass of milk. Enjoy!
