BURIED TREASURE MUFFINS

1 cup flour
1/2 cup quick oats
1/4 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg
1/4 cup cooking oil
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup blueberries, peaches, coconut, jam or (frozen fruit may be used if thawed first)
12 muffin cups (paper)

Preheat oven to 400º F. Put muffin papers in muffin tins. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder and salt. Dig a little hole into the middle of it all. In a small bowl, break the egg and mix it with the milk and oil. Then chop up the filling, if needed. Pour the liquid mixture into the hole in dry mixture. Stir until mixed, but leave it a little lumpy. Add whatever you're putting inside (the buried treasure). Fruit or coconut goes in with batter. Then pour into muffin tins no more than 3/4 full. For jam muffins, fill the muffin cup halfway, then put a teaspoon of jam in the center. Then add about a teaspoon of batter on top. Try a fortune on top instead of jam to make buried fortune muffins. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 400º F. Makes 12 muffins.
