Ingredients

• 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 1 cup Cornmeal
• 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.33 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 unit Large egg
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-count muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk the soaked oat mixture with the egg, melted butter, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 5

Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
