Oat Dinner Muffins
one of my favorite new muffins ,to have with my soup's and stew's
enjoy eveeryone..have a great week.Cilla :)

Ingredients:
1 cup white flour
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/4 cup sugar (though, I think I will use a bit less next time)
2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 beaten egg
3/4 cup milk
Directions:
Spray muffin pan or line with paper baking cups.
Preheat oven to 400.
In medium bowl, combine flour, oats, flax seed meal, sugar, baking powder and salt. Make a well in the center of flour mixture.
In another bowl, combine egg and milk.
Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir until just moistened (batter should be lumpy).
Spoon batter into muffin pan. I used a 1/4 measuring cup and it only made 8 muffins vs. the 12 the original recipe stated it would yield.
Sprinkle dry rolled oats on the top of muffin batter.
Bake in 400 degree oven for about 20 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted in centers come out clean.

Southern buttermilk mashed potatoes
2 lbs of Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into large chunks
1 tablespoon butter
1-1/4 cups non-fat buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepperCooking Instructions:
Place the potatoes in a large saucepan, then add enough water to cover by at least 1 inch.
Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat, covered, until the potatoes are very tender, about 15 minutes.
meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
Stir in the buttermilk and heat until just warm (the buttermilk will curdle if you overheat it).
When the potatoes are done, drain them in a colander and return them to the pan.
Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or electric blender.
Stir in enough of the warm buttermilk mixture to make the potatoes fluffy but not soupy.
Season with salt and pepper.For an extra kick add 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives to your potatoes when you season them with salt and pepper. Easy Southern Buttermilk Mashed Potatoes
