We love muffins because they’re simple and substantial. This buttermilk muffin recipe delivers on both accounts, giving you a batch of sweet, soft muffins in under an hour.

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a bowl, soak oats in buttermilk for 15 minutes. Stir in egg, sugar and oil. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; stir into oat mixture just until moistened.

These delicious buttermilk muffins were a significant part of the first dinner I had with my wife when we were courting. She's an excellent cook, and that first meal was truly a gourmet's delight. Now whenever she plans a menu and asks for my suggestions, I make sure these muffins are on it. —Robert Luebke, Appleton, Wisconsin
