Don't like oats? They almost disappear because they are so soft from soaking up the milk. Makes 12 muffins

Yields1 Serving

1 ½ cups 2% milk

1 cup quick cooking oats

2 cups all-purpose flour

½ cup granulated sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp sea salt

½ cup Blood Orange fused olive oil

2 eggs, lightly beaten

Streusel

½ cup all-purpose flour

¼ cup brown sugar

½ cup blood orange fused olive oil

1 tsp cinnamon

½ tsp nutmeg

Optional

Lemon or lime fused olive oil instead of blood orange; add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries, raisins, or chopped apricots if desired

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease the cups of a muffin tin or line the cups with paper liners.

In a small bowl, combine the milk and oats and let them sit for 10 minutes (or even overnight) to soften the oats.

In a large bowl, mix the flour with the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Create a well in the center, and add the olive oil, beaten eggs, and milk/oat mixture. Fold in gently until combined.

Prepare the streusel by mixing all ingredients in a small bowl until well combined and crumbly in texture. Sprinkle evenly over muffins before putting in the oven.

Fill the muffin cups 3/4 full with batter. Top each muffin with streusel, dividing it evenly between the muffins. Bake for 13 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. These are delicious straight from the oven.
