Buttermilk oatmeal muffins
I am a sucker for a good muffin recipe. I’m talking homemade, hot-from-the-oven, paper-wrapped bundles of muffin-y goodness.
I recently posted one of our family favorites, banana crumb muffins, but I’m also a fan of these cinnamon & sugar pumpkin mini muffins and chocolate chip zucchini muffins. As yummy as those are, I think my all-time favorite homemade muffins are these bran muffins; you make the batter ahead and refrigerate it, which makes for tasty homemade muffins multiple mornings in a row!
Oh, and my kids beg me to make those bran muffins, so you know they’re good.
I’m always happy to try a new muffin recipe, especially if it uses up nearly expired buttermilk. I found this buttermilk oatmeal muffin recipe on Allrecipes.com but tweaked it a bit according to the reviews.
It is definitely a keeper, especially if you have picky eaters. It’s a very good, basic muffin recipe. And that’s what I love about it. You could easily mix it up by adding fun stuff like chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, crumb topping…oh, the possibilities!

You may be wondering why that muffin looks so sad. Well, we ate the other 23 before I could snap a good photo. I hoped setting it in a cute little dish would make it feel better.
I’m not sure it worked but it sure tasted good!

They are very basic but I thought they were tasty–especially with lots and lots of butter!

I have a problem. It’s called “she loves to eat baked goods.”

It’s a good thing I haven’t gone grocery shopping yet! My husband is going to be so happy when he finds out I broke the grocery budget for baking (the only excuse he likes!) :)

These are simple but good. My favorite is still the bran muffins I’ve posted here, but I love this new recipe for using up buttermilk in the fridge. :)
