Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins

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.  

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!  

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!
