Brown Sugar Muffins

Make these muffins for breakfast. You'll be surprised at how delicous they are considering all the whole-grainy goodness packed inside. Plus they are simple to make.

Ingredients:
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1/2 cup milk
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 egg
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
2 tsp. baking powder

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 muffin cups.
Mix oats, milk and brown sugar in large bowl; let stand 5 minutes.
Add butter and egg; blend well.
Stir in remaining ingredients just until moistened.
Fill muffin cups two-thirds full. Bake 15 or 20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

Options: You can substitute honey for half the brown sugar, they still turn out great.
Also if you have toasted wheat germ put about 2 tb in with the flour for extra whole-grainy goodness.
