Mrs. Wilma's Oat Muffins

Our dear family friend Mrs. Wilma is a lovely vivacious lady in her 80s.  She is the most glass-half-full kind of person I have ever met.  Her smile is infectious as is her laugh.  I love her muffins not only because I can feel smug about eating them and how good for me they are, but also because this recipe actually employs my "dump" method of cooking.

Mrs. Wilma's Oat Muffins

1 c. Old Fashioned Oats (NOT quick cooking oats)
1 c. Buttermilk
1 c. Flour
1 tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
3/4 c. Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1/4 c. Butter

Mix the oats and buttermilk and leave overnight on the counter (don't freak out).
Mix all of the ingredients together.  Add your choice of 1 cup of the following:  raisins, fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips.
Bake 15 minutes at 400F.
This recipe can be doubled, tripled, or gangoozled* and they still work.

*I may have made up the word gangoozled.
