--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  boiling water
      1/2           cup  barley flakes -- 1 3/4oz
      1/3           cup  vegetable oil
   1              large  egg
      1/2           cup  brown sugar -- 3 3/4oz
   1                cup  buttermilk
   1           teaspoon  vanilla extract
   1                cup  barley flour -- 3oz
      3/4           cup  all-purpose flour -- 3 1/4oz
   1           teaspoon  baking soda
   1           teaspoon  baking powder
      1/2      teaspoon  salt
   1           teaspoon  ground cinnamon
   1                cup  jammy bits -- 6oz, see note
   1                cup  chopped nuts -- 4oz, optional

Jammy bits (King Arthur product) are sugar coated chewy very thick 
jam bits. You can find similar products online, or make your own:

In a medium bowl or measuring cup, pour the boiling water over the 
barley flakes. Set aside to cool to room temperature.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper, or 
lightly grease the muffin cups for a crustier muffin bottom.

Combine the cooled soaked barley flakes with the oil, egg, brown 
sugar, buttermilk, and vanilla extract. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flours, baking soda, 
baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry, and stir just until evenly 
moistened. Cover the batter loosely and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.

Fold the jammy bits and nuts (if using) into the batter until evenly 
incorporated.

Scoop the batter by heaping 1/4-cupfuls into the prepared muffin cups.

Bake the muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, until a cake tester inserted 
into the center of one comes out clean.

Remove the pan from the oven, allow the muffins to cool for 5 
minutes, then turn them out onto a rack to cool completely.
