1 lg. egg
1/3 c. vegetable oil
3/4 c. milk
1 c. self-rising flour
1 c. old fashioned rolled oats
1/4 c. sugar
1/2 c. Vidalia onions, chopped (I use Spanish)
3/4 c. extra-sharp Cheddar cheese (or more), grated
1/3 c. pecans (or more), chopped, not too finely

In a large bowl whisk together the egg, the oil and milk. Add the flour, oats and sugar and stir the mixture until it is just combined. Fold in the onion, Cheddar cheese and pecans. Spoon the mixture into 36 buttered 1/8 inch cup muffin tins (gem tins) and bake muffins in middle of preheated 400 degrees oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden. Turn out onto racks and serve warm or room temperature. Makes 36. They reheat well in the microwave. I put them in little paper muffin cups once and it didn't work out as well as the plain buttered tins. Also, I have a tendency to increase the amounts of the things I like, i.e.: pecans and Cheddar. Great with drinks.
