These delicious and easy to make oatmeal muffins are great for a snack or a quick breakfast on the run.
Oatmeal Muffins
Most of the people in our family don’t eat cereal, so I was looking for different options that are still quite filling, that can be enjoyed for breakfast. Having these muffins on hand is a great way for those who don’t like or have time to sit down and eat a bowl of cereal in the morning.
These muffins are quick and easy to make. After collecting all the ingredients needed, you will need one small bowl to soak the oats in the milk while you are getting the rest of the mixture ready.
Once the mixture is combined well, place into cupcake or muffin liners. Sprinkle with a little extra of the quick cooking oats and bake for 20 – 25 minutes.
Once cooled, store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer. I like to wrap them up individually and place in the freezer. They can be then taken out when needed and zapped in the microwave or they can be taken out of the freezer the night before and placed in the fridge ready to eat for breakfast or added to a lunch box.
We enjoy these muffins on a regular basis, mixing it up with toast, eggs, smoothies and pancakes.
