Cinnamon Streusel Oatmeal Muffins
Do you have oatmeal fans at your house? My sons enjoyed it more when they were little but, will eat any kind of sweet treat that includes oatmeal. We all enjoy a freshly baked batch of oatmeal cookies and copycat oatmeal cream pies. Then, there’s a retro oatmeal cake with a broiled coconut pecan frosting that’s been a jewel on potluck tables in the South for eons. Oatmeal as an ingredient, holds a solid place among Southern desserts.
Tips for Making Cinnamon Streusel Oatmeal Muffins
These muffins aren’t difficult to make at all. In fact, there’s no need to use a mixer for making the batter.
- I use buttermilk for these muffins as I almost always have it on hand and, it’s my personal preference. They can be made with whole milk or half and half in the same amount.
- To make homemade buttermilk, place 1 Tbsp lemon juice or white distilled vinegar in a measuring cup. Fill it the rest of the way with the amount of milk called for in the recipe. Allow to sit on the counter for 5 minutes, then proceed with the recipe.
- You can use old fashioned or quick cooking oats in this recipe. I don’t recommend using instant oatmeal.
- I’ve used pumpkin pie spice in place of cinnamon in this recipe at times for a fuller, more rounded spice blend. Either will work.
