My Mom’s Oatmeal Muffins
This recipe is from my Mother and this is the first recipe she learned to make. I think this recipe goes back to my great grandmother and my family has been making it ever since then. I grew up eating them and I love them fresh from the oven with butter and jam. What I really like about this recipe is that they are not overly sweet.
Ingredients:
- 1-cup oatmeal (old-fashioned slow cook)
- 1-cup milk
- 1-cup flour
- 3 TBSP butter
- 1 egg (beaten)
- ½ tsp salt
- 3 TBSP sugar
- 1½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- In a saucepan, scald milk and butter.
- In a mixing bowl, add oatmeal and scalded milk. Combine and let sit until cools off.
- Then combine flour, egg, salt, sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
- In a muffin pan, pour dough into pre-buttered muffin cups.
- Bake for 23 to 27 minutes.
- Remove from oven.
- Enjoy!
* Makes 8 large muffins or 12 small muffins.

I have never had an oatmeal muffin. They sound really good. I will have to try them since you said they are not too sweet. I don’t like really sweet things for breakfast!
Thank you for sharing your recipe on Foodie Friends Friday. I hope you will bring another recipe next week.

Thanks. I feel the same about sweets in the morning. 🙂
These look super yummy! Pinning!
Saw you at 6 sisters 😉
Thank you! 🙂
There is something wrong with this recipe. It makes a very thick almost cookie dough like batter and it does not bake up like muffins. I thought I messed it up and sent it to a friend and it did not work for her either.
Thank you so much for your input. I make these muffins often and they always come out like the photos. The only thing I can think of is the type of oatmeal you used. For this recipe I use old-fashioned slow cook oatmeal, if you used instant oatmeal I know it would not come out properly. I will add the to my recipe. Thanks again, we pride ourselves on our recipes and try to be as accurate as possible. 🙂
