Elizabeth Alston's Brown Sugar Oatmeal Muffins

[chestnut_pod]

This recipe is from Elizabeth Alston's standby 1984 book Muffins, which is about as no-nonsense and good as a cookbook can be. I've never had a bad recipe out of that book, and her Best Blueberry Muffins recipe, adapted for blackberries, results in the Best Muffins, period. This recipe is not for those! But it is for the baked equivalent of a hug, with a powerful ability to make things better. The ultimate winter muffin, in my discerning opinion.
