Here is another healthy-sounding recipe for oatmeal muffins. You can make it healthier by using whole wheat or other whole grain flour, less sugar, butter instead of margarine, or a healthy oil.
1 pint sour cream
2 tsp. baking soda
1 cup softened margarine or butter
1 1/2 cup sugar ( or less )
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. salt
2 cups flour
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 half cups oatmeal
3/4 cup raisins
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix sour cream and baking soda in small bowl and set aside. Cream margarine or butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla. Alternate sour cream mixture and flour. Add remaining ingredients and stir until blended. Fill tins 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes or until they spring back. Makes about 3 dozen.
