THE BEST Oatmeal Muffins

My daughter wanted to make these muffins and went onto the blog only to ask, "where's that recipe Mom"? We can't believe it isn't on the blog, we've only made this recipe about 1000 times! It is simple, the moistest, best tasting oatmeal thing.

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine 1 cup of large flake oatmeal with 1 cup of boiling water and let it sit. This is the key to this recipe.

In a medium bowl, cream with a mixer:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 c. softened butter (1 stick)
then, add 2 eggs and a tsp. of vanilla and combine

To this mixture, add through a sieve:
1 cup flour

1 tsp baking soda (thanks Jackie!)
With a wooden spoon, stir in the moistened oatmeal.

Add your choice of any dried fruit, any type of chocolate chips, coconut, nuts etc. Beef it up!

Bake for 20 min or so. They are so bloody good!
