Oat and Honey Muffins



Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg
2/3 cup + 1 Tbs milk
1/3 cup pumpkin (or applesauce)
1/4 cup honey

Directions:
Mix oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon in large bowl.  In separate bowl, mix egg, milk, pumpkin, and honey.  Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix just until moistened.  (Let sit for a few minutes if you want bigger muffin tops.)  Makes 12 muffins (We just already ate half before I got the picture!).  Bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes. (My perfect bake time is about 16 minutes using paper baking cups.)  Let sit 5 minutes in pan on cooling rack before removing muffins from pan.
