Ingredients:

• 1 cup quick oatmeal
• 1 cup buttermilk
• ½ cup cream cheese, softened
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions:

1. Soak the Oatmeal:
   Begin by combining the quick oatmeal and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir the mixture gently to ensure the oatmeal is fully coated, and let it soak for about 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the oats to absorb the buttermilk, making the muffins tender and moist.

2. Prepare Dry Ingredients:
   While the oatmeal mixture is soaking, grab another bowl and whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. This combination ensures that your muffins will rise perfectly and have a delightful sweetness.

3. Coat the Peaches (Optional):
   If you’re adding peaches (or another fruit) for extra flavor, chop them into small pieces and gently toss them with a bit of flour from the measured amount. This helps prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the muffins during baking.

4. Mix Cream Cheese and Egg:
   In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and egg together until smooth and creamy. This mixture will add a rich, tangy flavor to your muffins and a nice moist texture.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   Fold the cream cheese and egg mixture into the soaked oatmeal mixture, blending them thoroughly. Then, gradually add the dry ingredients to this mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.

6. Prepare Muffin Tin:
   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). While the oven heats up, grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Spoon the muffin batter into the tins, filling each cup about ¾ full. For a touch of extra sweetness and a bit of crunch, sprinkle a small amount of sugar over the tops of the muffins.

7. Bake the Muffins:
   Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The high temperature helps create a beautifully crisp exterior while keeping the inside moist and tender.

8. Cool and Serve:
   Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the muffins set properly and makes them easier to remove from the tin without falling apart.

Serving:

These Oatmeal Cream Cheese Muffins are delightful when served warm with a pat of butter or a drizzle of honey. They also make a fantastic addition to your breakfast table or a quick snack to enjoy on the go.
