One recipe, many variations! The muffins are super soft and moist. Just the thing when you want something but not sure what.

Ingredients

1 cup plain flour
1 cup oats, whole rolled
¼ cup coconut sugar
½ teaspoon fine salt
1 tablespoon baking powder
⅓ cup vegetable oil (can use mild tasting olive oil)
1 cup buttermilk (can use regular milk)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Prune & Raisin

½ cup prunes, roughly chopped
½ cup raisins

Apple, Pear & Cinnamon

½ apple, peeled, cored and diced
½ pear, peeled, cored and diced
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Blueberry & Banana

1 cup blueberries, fresh or frozen
1 banana mashed - use 2 bananas for extra moist muffins

Directions

Preheat oven to 200ºC or 400ºF. Lightly grease a muffin tray with vegetables oil and set aside.
Into a large bowl add the flour, oats, coconut sugar, salt and baking powder. Set the bowl of dry ingredients aside.
Into a second large bowl add the vegetable oil, buttermilk, eggs and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients to combine. For prune & raisin muffins: Put the chopped prunes and raisins into the bowl of wet ingredients and leave for 5 minutes to rehydrate. For apple, pear & cinnamon muffins: Put chopped apples and pears into the bowl with the wet ingredients. Put cinnamon into the bowl with the dry ingredients. For blueberry & banana muffins: Whisk the mashed banana in with the wet ingredients. Set the blueberries aside.
Pour the bowl of wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Fold the mixture together using a spatula to combine. Fold through the blueberries if making the blueberry & banana muffins.
Evenly pour the mixture into the muffin tray and transfer the tray to the preheated oven. Bake for 20 minutes. If making large muffins with 2 bananas, bake for 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool a little before removing from the tray.
Allow the muffins to cool on a wire rack then enjoy warm or cold.
