Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins

On a recent sunny, cold Sunday morning, this muffin was paired with a cup of tea and a spoonful of jazz to awaken the soul.

It is a loving tribute to my grandmother Clara who always had something special (and healthy) in the oven during my childhood visits.

1 cup old fashioned oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 large eggs
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter, melted)
1 tsp vanilla

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 regular muffin cups, or use foil, paper or silicon baking cups.
Mix dry ingredients.
Whisk eggs and brown sugar in another bowl. When smooth, whisk in milk, oil/butter, and vanilla.
Pour over dry ingredients. Fold in, just until dry ingredients are moistened.
Scoop the batter into muffin cups.
Bake 15-20 minutes, or until springy to the touch in the center.

Cool on a rack and enjoy!
