This was my failed attempt at making oatmeal brownies. But on the upside, I'm really happy with how these came out because they turned into something else completely. I got muffins! Mini muffins to be exact. Don't you just love when something like that happens? Another happy mistake.
They're really good. There's a subtle butterscotch flavor. Great for breakfast, snack or dessert. Have it with some coffee, tea or moo juice. Topped them with a sprinkle of oats and a single butterscotch morsel before baking. Why the single morsel? I don't know. Decor? Maybe. I didn't think much into it. I made about 2 dozen mini muffins and 3 mini-loafs.
This makes 30 mini muffins.
Oatmeal-Butterscotch Mini Muffins
1/4 c granulated sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
1/2 c unsalted butter or margarine (softened)
2 eggs
1/2 Tbsp vanilla extract
2 c all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 c water
1 c rolled oats (plus extra for topping)
1 c butterscotch chips
Preheat oven to 350˚F
Sift together flour, baking powder, salt. Set aside.
Melt the butterscotch chips in a bowl with the water. Heat in the microwave for 1 1/2 - 2 min or until melted. Stir the mixture after the first minute to combine. Or use the double boiler method. Bring some water to a boil in a small pot. Once the water is boiling bring it down to a simmer. Place the butterscotch and water in a metal bowl and place on top of the pot. Stir butterscotch occasionally to combine until melted.
In another bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Then add in the eggs, mixing after each one. Add in vanilla, then the melted butterscotch. Combine well then slowly add the flour mixture. Mix well until there are no lumps.
Add in the oats.
Lightly grease your preferred muffin pan and pour in the batter 3/4 full. Sprinkle a little more oats on top.
Baked for 15-20 min. Let it cool for at least 5-10min.

i love butterscotch flavor, oh i wish we could get butterscotch chips here..muffins look soo good, perfect for my breakfast!
These look adorable. Worth the mistake to develop these bites of goodness!
Those look great...Your photos are always so amazing.
I enjoy your site so much.
Thank you again, for stopping by my site. To be honest, the tiple vanilla cheesecake did not turn out to be way to vanilla. It was a mild vanilla taste....
Take Care and I will be back.
Your mini-muffins seem great! It is impossible to see that they were supposed to be brownies instead!
Dear Jenn!
This is certainly a better way to eat oats than with milk and sugar! (ech...)
Great idea!
Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Robert-Gilles

Love it when these mistakes happen! They look so delicious esp with the chips!
How cute and yummy looking. I agree, its so good when a kitchen mess up can turn into something good, but truth be told my mess ups usually end up in the garbage. :)
Neato combination! I could use one of those with my morning coffee ;)
I am a muffin addict, so I will be bookmarking this one!
Yum!
I haven't had butterscotch chips in years, I might just have to make these. They sound great, muffins are a good time.
why do mini foods always taste better than their full sized brethren? GREG
I don't know that I could stop at just 1 butterscotch chip on the top! I might end up with a butterscotch block o chips! :)
Brownies to muffins, a mistake I wanna make ^^
These all look great! :)
These are really cut. I'll wager they are just delicious. Thank you for sharing them with us. Have a wonderful day...Mary
Where did you get that mini loaf pan?!
I love the butterscotch chips! Mini muffins are the perfect sized treat!
you had me at "butterscotch"... this reminds me of an oatmeal butterscotch cookie I've made. I can't remember if it was a real recipe, or something I tweaked.
Nice save on the brownies! The mini loaves and muffins are adorable.
Don't you love it when a mistake turns out SO good-I'd love to make such mini 'mistakes' myself ;)
