Saskatoon Berry Oat Muffins



What you need,
          
1 cup oats (I used quick cook because it is what I had)
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. salt
¾ cup brown sugar, packed
1 egg, lightly beaten
¼ cup butter, melted
1½ cup Saskatoon berries (fresh or frozen)

Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Spray a muffin tin liberally with non-stick spray. I like the Pam with flour for muffins!

In a medium bowl stir together the oats and buttermilk, let them stand for 10 minutes.

In a separate bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and brown sugar.
Stir the melted butter and egg into the oat mixture. 

Gently stir the oat mixture into the flour mixture, be careful not to over mix. Carefully fold in the Saskatoon berries.

Scoop the batter into the muffin tin using a large ice cream scoop. Bake for 18-22 minutes until the muffins are brown around the edges and a tooth pick comes out clean.

Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes then remove to a wire rack. Let the muffins cool completely before storing in an airtight container for up to a week. They also freeze really well too!
