With brown sugar.
A recipe somewhat more descriptive than the version in The Woman Suffrage Cook Book by Mrs. Hattie A. Burr from around 1886:

Oatmeal Muffins.

Oatmeal pudding is, as you might imagine, prepared oatmeal. Another take, from the March 20, 1898 edition of the Boston Globe:
|
Oatmeal muffins made of cold oatmeal — 2 cups of oatmeal, 1/2 cup sugar, beat together, add 2 cups sweet milk and 2 cups of flour with 2 teaspoons of baking powder, little salt; beat all well together and bake in gem pans in quick oven, care to be taken to follow directions in putting together. We make 2-1/2 down in the morning for breakfast. Our family is larger than yours (9) and all good eaters.
