Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.25 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
• 0.5 cup buttermilk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup raisins (optional)
• 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, buttermilk, vanilla extract, and eggs until smooth and combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently fold the mixture together just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the raisins and/or chopped nuts for extra texture and flavor.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
