Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup old‑fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all‑purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp old‑fashioned rolled oats, for topping
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar, for topping

Method
 

  1. Soak 1 cup oats in 1 cup buttermilk for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12‑cup muffin tin.
  2. Whisk 1/3 cup oil, 1/3 cup brown sugar, the egg, and 1 tsp vanilla into the oat mixture.
  3. Stir in 1 cup flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1 tsp cinnamon until just combined.
  4. Divide batter evenly among cups. Mix 2 tbsp oats and 1 tbsp granulated sugar; sprinkle over each muffin.
  5. Bake for 18–20 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack.

Notes

The oat soak is what keeps these muffins moist, so don’t skip it. Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer.
