Oatmeal Muffins!!!

These might just be the perfect way to wake up (well if you have Coffee with them!) They are so easy to make and so delicious. You can do what I did and make them at night, let them cool, and put them in Ziploc bags so they stay moist til morning. They are even more perfect if you have silicone cupcake "wrappers" which I have used. They are great just stick em' in the dishwasher when you are done and they can be used over and over and over again!

~Recipe~
Streusel topping
1/3 cup oatmeal (quick or old fashioned but uncooked)
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons butter (you can also use margarine if you prefer. Personally I like butter better for any baked "treat")

Muffins
1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 cup oatmeal (quick or old fashioned but uncooked)
1/2 granulated sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
2 teaspoons vanilla

Heat oven to 400. line 12 muffin cups with paper or spray with nonstick spray (or silicone cupcake holders placed on a cookie sheet)
for streusal, combine oats, flour, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Mix well with two knives or a pastry blender (or like me you can just use your hands) until mixture is crumbly.
for muffins, combine flour, oats, granulated sugar, and baking powder in large bowl mix well. Combine milk, oil, egg, and Vanilla in small bowl. Mix Well. Add to dry ingredients all at once. Stir just until dry ingredients are moistened (do not overmix or you will have tough muffins)  Fill muffin cups almost full. Sprinkle with Streusal lightly pat it down.
Bake 18-20 minutes or until golden brown. Cool muffins on wire rack. Serve them warm or seal em' up and enjoy them in the morning.  This recipe makes 12 muffins, can be doubled to make 24 :D They are soooooooooo Delicious.
 **Note** You can add cinnamon to the streusal, vanilla or anything else you think will make it even more delicious!
ENJOY!!!!!!!
