These hearty muffins are easy to make, inexpensive, and contain less sugar than store-bought muffins.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Blend together dry ingredients.
2 1/2 cups Bisquick
1 tsp allspice
1 1/2 cups oatmeal (I used quick cooking oatmeal)
In a separate bowl, blend together wet ingredients and sugar.
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 cup melted butter or margarine
2 cups buttermilk
If you don't have buttermilk (it's strangely difficult to find buttermilk where I live) add a little vinegar or lemon juice to regular milk.
In a large bowl, mix the wet and dry ingredients until well blended.
Fill muffin cups 2/3 full.
Bake for 20 minutes.
Makes approximately 3 dozen muffins.
I adapted this recipe from the Amish bran muffin recipe in the Dining On a Dime 20th Anniversary cookbook because I always have a lot of quick-cooking oatmeal on hand.
Here is the original recipe.
5 cups all purpose four
5 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. allspice
3 cups sugar
4 eggs
1 cup oil
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups buttermilk
1 (20 oz.) box raisin bran fakes
Preheat oven to 375°. Mix all of the ingredients together. The batter will be lumpy. Fill muffin cups ⅔ full and bake 20 minutes. The batter can be kept refrigerated for up to 6 weeks. Makes 30-35 muffins.

You'll get the best price on Bisquick at Costco, but if you don't have a Costco membership or a Costco near you, this Costco-size box from Amazon is only a couple dollars more and you get the convenience of having it delivered to you.
Bisquick isn't just for making biscuits. It's extremely versatile. I've found that I can swap a couple cups of Bisquick for the dry ingredients in a cake, cookie, or muffin recipe and it turns out quite nicely.
I haven't bought oatmeal in literal years because they always include it in the food bank box. Plain oatmeal tends to be pretty cheap. I've provided a link for an inexpensive option in case you need it. I will earn a small commission for anything ordered through this link.
I hope you enjoy making and eating this simple and hearty treat! Until next time!
