Ingredients
Granulated sugar
1/3 cup (for the topping)
Ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon (for the topping)
All-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups
Quick-cooking oats or Old-fashioned oats, uncooked
1 cup
Granulated sugar
1/2 cup
Baking powder
1 tablespoon
Milk
1 cup
Egg
1 large (lightly beaten)
Margarine or Butter
4 tablespoons (melted)
Vanilla extract
1 teaspoon
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray the bottoms of a mini muffin pan with cooking spray; set aside.
2
In a small bowl, mix together the 1/3 cup of granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon for the topping, and set aside.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of oats, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1 tablespoon of baking powder. Stir well to mix.
4
In another bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 1 lightly beaten egg, 4 tablespoons of melted margarine or butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until blended.
5
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients all at once, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
6
Scoop the muffin batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar topping evenly over the batter in each cup.
7
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the muffins are light golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then remove from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm for the best taste.
