Favorite Oatmeal Muffins

In large bowl, mix the dry milk (see note below) and oatmeal. Stir in the water and vinegar; let sit a few minutes. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Grease a 12-muffin tin.

Add to oatmeal mixture the egg, sugar, and oil. Stir well to combine. In a small bowl, mix unbleached flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Using a fork, stir dry mixture into liquid mixture JUST to moisten. DO NOT over-mix. Spoon batter evenly in greased muffin tin. Bake 15 to 18 minutes. Muffins are done when tops bounce back to touch. Makes one dozen.

Note: if you wish, omit the dry milk, water, and vinegar; use one cup of buttermilk instead.
