Oatmeal Buttermilk Muffins

I hardly use buttermilk in my bakes. Flipped through the cookbook and delighted to use oatmeal since I still have half the pack ... plus buttermilk to bake some muffins.


Recipe adapted from Cakes and Bakes 500 Martha Day, with slight modification made in blue.
Oatmeal Buttermilk Muffins
Makes 12
Ingredients
75g rolled oats
225g buttermilk
115g butter at room temperature
75g soft dark brown sugar (I used 55g)
1egg at room temperature
115g all purpose flour
1teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
25g raisins

Method :
1) In a bowl, combine the oats and buttermilk, and leave to soak for 1 hour.
(Since I'm using instant rolled oats, soaked them for about 10 mins )

2) Grease 12 muffin cups or use paper cases.

3) Preheat the oven to 200 degC. (180°C for my oven)
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg.

4) In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir into the butter mixture, alternating with the oat mixture. Fold in the  raisins. Take care not to over mix.
(Added a few blueberries into 3 muffin cups specially for me ... ^-^)

5) Fill the prepared cups two-thirds full. Bake until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean, 20-25 mins. Transfer to a rack to cool.

Yummy ! Couldn't wait to have one of these freshly baked oatmeal buttermilk muffins ... the texture is so soft and moist and the crust is slightly crispy ^-^!   "Chop" ! those with blueberries are mine !!!

    1. Hi Phong Hong, oh yes ... another way for me to 'clear stock' faster is add few tablespoons to beverages like Milo if not used in baking :D

  8. Hi Karen, do you make your own buttermilk or can we buy buttermilk from hypermarkets?

  9. Hi Joyce, I bought the buttermilk from Cold Storage. But you can make your own buttermilk with milk and lemon or sour cream and milk. Do checkout from website for detailed info.

  10. I saw buttermilk from Cold Storage too but never try before. After adding in Buttermilk, is it tastes sweeter?

  11. It didn't taste sweeter to me but guess texture is slightly different vs use of milk.
