Favorite Oatmeal Muffins

No, not just my favorite oatmeal muffin, these are actually my Number 1 Favorite Muffin ~ period! I love that they are comparatively low-fat and won’t make your fingers greasy as you eat them. I love the chewy texture of oatmeal, the sweetness of raisins and cinnamon, and the spongy texture buttermilk imparts to baked products. I love that they have extra fiber from whole grains, applesauce and raisins. Not fancy and not rich. Just a simple, everyday quick bread ~ but my stand-by muffin recipe.
