Mom's Whole Wheat (or oatmeal) muffins

My mom got this recipe when she was in college. We had them often when we were growing up, and I love them. Warning: If you are not used to whole wheat, it may take some time to acquire a taste for them. :)

These are the oatmeal muffins.

1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. butter
1 egg
1 c. milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour*

Cream first 5 ingredients until well blended. Add remaining ingredients, and stir until flour is just mixed in. Bake at 350* F. for 15-20 minutes.

Serves: 12

*If you want to make oatmeal muffins, omit the whole wheat flour, and use 1 1/2 c. white flour and 1 c. oatmeal.
