How to cook deliciously - Oatmeal Muffins with Raisins, Dates, and Walnuts
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 400°F : Grease a twelve-slot muffin tin or line the slots with paper baking cups.
2. Stage
Mix the dry ingredients: Mix together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, walnuts, dates, and raisins. In a separate bowl mix together the buttermilk, egg, vanilla extract, and butter.
3. Stage
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir together. Be sure not to over-stir as that will cause the muffins to develop too many gluten bonds. It should be thick and gloppy. About 10 seconds of stirring should do; just enough to barely bring the ingredients together.
4. Stage
Scoop into the pan and bake: Scoop into prepared muffin tray and bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the tray for a minute or two before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
