1/4 teaspoon salt
2 packets instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal
1 egg, beaten
1 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1 Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease 12 muffin cups.
2 Combine 3 tablespoons flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Use a pastry blender or two knives to cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Reserve.
