Baking Taste of Home Tuesday

Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins

These oatmeal muffins make the perfect breakfast on the go

It’s been a while, but welcome to another edition of Taste Of Home Tuesday!

I have to admit I am not a big fan of breakfast.  I know it is the most important meal of the day, and that is why I do try to have a good breakfast every morning.  Sometimes it is just a protein smoothie, and sometimes it is a quick omelet.  There are mornings where I simply run out of time and have to have something I can grab and go.

When I am in a morning rush I like to grab a muffin and a glass of milk.  

A filling muffin made with homemade oatmeal makes a great breakfast option when you are in a hurry!

Looking for a new recipe to try I clicked over to Taste of Home and searched for muffin recipes.  I came across these breakfast oatmeal muffins that are made from leftover homemade oatmeal.  

I didn’t have any leftover oatmeal on hand, but I cooked up a serving in no time.  

The only substitution I made was adding chopped dates in place of raisins to add some extra fiber and natural sweetness.  I mixed them into the dry ingredients.

That is one thing I love about muffins.  One mixing bowl for the dry ingredients, one for the wet, combine the two and scoop into muffin tins.  Done!  No electric appliances necessary.

I also threw in some chopped walnuts because I had a few left over from another recipe and wanted to use them up.  

Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly and the result was a delicious, incredibly moist, and filling muffin!  So delicious in fact that I couldn’t stop at just one!  

A hearty grab and go breakfast. Oatmeal muffins!

I prefer muffins a bit on the bigger side, so I got 10 muffins instead of 12.  They were gone by the end of the day.  Apparently nobody in the family could stop at just one!

I already have requests to make them again.  Soon.  Like today would be good!

You can find the recipe for these yummy Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins by clicking here.  

Don’t forget it is free to register at Taste of Home, and you can start adding recipes to your recipe box!

Until next time……

    I’ll have to try these as well. I often grab a muffin as a quick breakfast when I’m running late and heading out the door.

    I love that you added dates rather than raisins. I think I do that in just about any recipe that calls for raisins. Yep! Just not a fan of raisins or currants. I’d have yo cut back on the sugar, too. Sugar is now a ‘biggy’ implicated in heart disease so I’d cut it back to half a cup which us what I fo with all my other muffin recipes.

    The new info on sugar really is bothering me because I have a real sweet tooth but I’ve got to think about my health in the long run. I still eat desserts, just much tinier portions.

    Thanks for the new recipe but who ever heard of leftover oatmeal??? Mmmm mmm good!!!

      I am with you on the sugar Jan! I am a fellow “sweet tooth”! I have managed to cut my consumption of soda down significantly. Baby steps!!

    Breakfast food is my favorite, but I hardly ever eat it at breakfast. These look delicious and would be a great grab and go breakfast for the little guy too!

    When I made them a second time I used raisins and threw in some extra walnut and pecan pieces I had left! Extra yummy 🙂
