Silpa's Kitchen: Oatmeal Cup Cakes (Muffins)

I bought Quaker Oatmeal packets for breakfast. But i did not consume them. And i wanted to make some recipe out of that. I planned to make healthy cup cakes. So i tried it using Oatmeal, Brown Sugar which is healthier when compared to White Sugar. In the original recipe I am supposed to add 2 cups of All Purpose Flour (Maida Flour). But for healthier recipe i replaced half of the flour with Wheat Flour(Chapathi Flour). So i used 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup Wheat Flour. They came out very well. So today I wanted to share this recipe with all of you.

Ingredients :

2 cups oats
2 cups milk
2 eggs
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup vegetable oil or butter
2 cups flour (My Choice : 1 cup all purpose flour and 1 cup wheat flour) one can use 2 cups of All Purpose Flour)
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 tbsp raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) : I replaced them with Chopped Almonds(Badam)

Method of Preperation :

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners.
In a small bowl, combine milk and oats, let them soak for 15 minutes.
In a separate bowl, beat together egg, oil or butter, stir in oatmeal mixture. Add both the flours, sugar, baking powder, milk, and salt. Try to beat with egg beater for the ingredients to be mixed well.
Finally add raisins and chopped almonds and mix well with a spoon.
Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until cups are 2/3 full.
I added the remaining batter into another baking pan which is greased with oil.
Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Once they are done cool them for a while and they are ready to eat. Raisins bring special taste and almonds bring crounchy taste when you are eating the miffin.

Hope you will enjoy my Oatmeal Muffins. Try it out, and don't forget to add comments.
