Cranberry Oatmeal Muffins

Following Sylvia's recipe-posting lead...

I got adventurous this morning and tried a big batch of muffins... cranberries are my favorite!
This is a double batch (24 muffins) to make some for the freezer- great to thaw, warm, and eat on the go on those hurried Sunday mornings (or on your way to work.)

Preheat oven to 400
2 2/3 cups flour
1 1/2 cups oats
3/4 cup sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 beaten eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup cooking oil
2 cups coarsely chopped cranberries

In large bowl combine flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Make a well in center of flour mixture; set aside.
In another bowl combine egg, milk, and oil. Add egg mixture all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened, batter should be lumpy.
Spoon into muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden and a wooden toothpick inserted into center comes out clean.
Cool on wire rack.

These would be good with almonds or walnuts mixed in as well! And perhaps a streusel topping... get creative.
Enjoy,
ali

I plugged this into Weight Watchers on line points finder and they are 3 points apiece. Very good for a muffin! Of course thats without the strussel, almonds, walnuts etc
