Cinnamon N’ Spice Oatmeal Muffins

2/3 cup all purpose flour

½ cup rolled oats

¼ cup sugar

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp ground cinnamon

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

1/8 tsp salt

Dash ground cloves

1/3 cup milk

1 beaten egg

2 tbsp cooking oil

½ tsp vanilla

¼ cup chopped walnuts, pecans, or almonds

Line six 2 ½ inch muffin cups with paper baking cups, set aside. Preheat oven to 400º. In a medium mixing bowl stir together the flour, rolled oats, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and cloves. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.

In another bowl combine the milk, egg, oil and vanilla. Add the liquid ingredients all at once to the dry ingredients. Stir just until moistened (batter should be lumpy). Fold nuts into the batter. Spoon batter into lined muffin cups, filling each 2/3 full. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until tops are golden. Remove from oven and cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve warm. Makes 6 muffins.
