Makes 9 cups mix & 3 batches (12-ct) muffins

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Stir in brown sugar. Mix well. With a pastry blender, cut in shortening until evenly distributed. Stir in oats and mix well. Put in a large airtight container.

*This mix also makes pancakes, cookies, oatmeal bars, and a few other things... none of which I have tried.
