Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups diced apple
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin. Whisk together oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk oil, brown sugar, granulated sugar, eggs, buttermilk, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and stir gently just until no flour streaks remain.
  4. Fold in diced apple and optional nuts until evenly distributed.
  5. Divide batter among muffin cups and bake 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  6. Cool in the pan 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Notes

No buttermilk on hand? Stir 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar into 1 cup milk and let it sit for 5 minutes. It will do the same job.
