Catching up with each other.
Enjoying the glory of Saturday morning…

Stir in oat mixture.
Mix flours, baking soda, baking powder and salt together then stir into egg/oat mixture.
Line 12 muffin cups with over sized liners
Divide batter between the 12 cups.

THE LOVE: Make sure you allow the oats the full hour to soak up the buttermilk!
