In a large bowl, add brown sugar and melted butter and mix well. Add milk and 2 large eggs and using a whisk, gently mix everything together. Add the flour and again gently whisk until everything is mixed well. Set aside for 20 minutes for the oat flour to absorb the liquid ingredients.

Baking the Oatmeal Muffins:
Spray a 12 cup muffin pan with non-stick baking spray containing flour. Using an extra large ½ cup ice-cream scoop, fill the muffin cups to the brim. Sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of the topping on top of the batter in each muffin cup.
Bake for approximately 25 minutes or until done.
Remove from the oven and cool on a metal cake rack for about 10 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool for approximately another 20-30 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
