As I mentioned here, I have been on a baking kicking lately. So while I was making dinner on Saturday night I had a craving for oatmeal cinnamon muffins. My Mom used to make these when we were growing up and I LOVED them. I tweaked the recipe a bit by adding strawberries for some summery freshness. They turned out great and were so good!
Ingredients:
2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup milk (I used skim)
2 cups chopped strawberries (or blueberries)
Crumble Topping:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/2 rolled oats
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350º. Line muffin pan with paper muffin liners or grease with shortening.
To prepare crumble topping mix with sugar, flour, butter, and cinnamon with a fork. I use my hands to get it fully incorporated so that it has the texture of wet sand. This makes a generous amount of crumble - I think the more the better!
For the muffins whisk together in a small bowl flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, vanilla and milk. Add flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in strawberries.
Divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle muffins with crumble topping.
Bake at 350º for 20 to 25 min, until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins.
