Oatmeal muffins are one of the easiest and versatile muffin you can bake. Plus they are an easy to make treat that can be enjoyed at breakfast or as a snack anytime of day.<\/p>\n

These oatmeal muffins are lightly sweetened from a little unrefined brown sugar and mashed banana. They are made with both regular and whole grain spelt flour for a little bit of extra goodness. And since this recipe is so forgiving they can be filled with pretty much anything your heart desires. The banana can be skipped and replaced with a little extra sugar, or feel free to use another fruit of choice.<\/p>\n

Basic method for making these muffins<\/h2>\n

This is a two bowl recipe, as the oats are soaking in the buttermilk, before adding the other ingredients. This is what gives them a lovely tender texture.<\/p>\n

Then, each of the \u201cbowl 1\u201d ingredients is added to the buttermilk-oats mixture, one by one. Each individual ingredients it mixed in to ensure it is properly incorporated. First the butter, then the sugar, then the banana and cinnamon and lastly the egg.<\/p>\n

The reasons for a two bowl method<\/h2>\n

And why do we mix the wet and ingredients separately? We want to ensure everything is well mixed together, but BEFORE adding the flour. Over-mixing the mixture once the flour is added makes for tough muffins (lots of stirring equals lots of gluten). And since we are using spelt flour, we are extra careful, as we don\u2019t want to destroy its sensitive gluten structure by over-mixing it even the tiniest little bit.<\/p>\n

And finally, once the dry mixture meets the wet mixture, it\u2019s important to work quickly and efficiently to combine the two \u2014 but not too much! A lumpy batter is completely fine.<\/p>\n
