Blueberry Oat Flax Muffins

Today was a great day for baking. It's been cool and rainy and that meant I could have the oven going all morning and not have to worry about heating the whole house up. This is the first of my three projects for the day.
I don't know where exactly I got this recipe from, but I made it growing up. I've added the flax and the lemon juice on my own. The batter is quite stiff - so don't expect lovely big caps - but the texture of the muffin is still tender. The flax add nutrients and crunch.
Blueberry Oat Flax Muffins
1 cup oatmeal
1 cup buttermilk or sour milk
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tsp lemon juice
1 cup blueberries
2 tbsp flax seeds
1. In a small bowl, combine the oats and the buttermilk. (To sour milk, add 1 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice and let sit for 5 minutes.)
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients. Add the butter, egg, and lemon juice to the oatmeal mixture and blend well.
3. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Fold in the blueberries.
4. Fill muffin tins. Bake at 400F for 20 or so minutes, or until golden on top and a tester inserted comes out clean. It should yield 12.
Enjoy!

I put flax in just about everything I bake now.
Yay...another recipe using flax. Thanks.
Scrumptious - tender and flaky. I partially ground up the oats, added a dash of cinammon and tossed in a few chopped up walnuts... we loved them. Thank you. Looking forward to trying some of your other recipes.
Thanks so much for the great recipe. At the last minute my daughter demanded raisins instead of blueberries, so we shall see.'
Thanks for the great blog.
