Vidalia Onion Muffins

1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup milk
1 cup self-rising flour
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped Vidalia onion
3/4 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar
1/3 cup chopped pecans

In a large bowl whisk together the egg, oil and milk; add the flour,
oats and the sugar; and stir the mixture until it is just combined.
Fold in the onion, Cheddar and pecans; spoon the mixture into 36
buttered 1/8 cup muffin tins (gem tins), and bake the muffins in the
middle of a preheated 400? oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are
golden. Turn the muffins out onto racks and serve them warm or at
room temperature.
