Strawberry Filled Oatmeal Muffins

This recipe is from Lara at Recipe Shoebox.

1 cup oats


1 cup buttermilk

1 cup flour (I used 1/2 whole wheat, 1/2 white flour)

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 cup oil

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 egg

3/4 cup coconut

Strawberry preserves


Combine oats in buttermilk and let soak at least 30 minutes. Sift four, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together. Set aside. Blend oil, brown sugar, egg, and coconut and add to oatmeal mixture. Blend well. Add dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened. Spoon into greased muffin tins. Spoon a small teaspoon strawberry preserves in center of each muffin and cover preserves with a little more dough. Bake at 400° for 15-18 minutes. Make 12 muffins
