Leftover Cooked Oatmeal Muffins

SavedbyGrace's Note:

This is a great recipe for using up leftover cooked oatmeal in the fridge! Perfect for breakfast with just a little butter. I usually put raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in my oatmeal beforehand, which adds a great flavor to the muffins!

• Total Time: 28 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 18 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 4-8

Yield: 12.0 muffins

• 1 cup flour (I use white or wheat)
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 cup melted butter
• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 cup leftover cooked oatmeal
• 1 cup raisins (optional)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, baking powder and baking soda.
2. In another bowl, mix together melted butter, eggs, oatmeal, raisins and vanilla;.
3. Add to dry ingredients and stir just until moistened.
4. The batter will seem thick, but don't worry. Any time I've added extra liquid the muffins turned out crumbly.
5. Spoon batter into 12 greased muffin cups.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 18 minutes, or until the muffin centers are slightly firm.

I was put off by the number of calories per muffin listed. I ran the ingredients through a calorie calculator, and they come out to about 250 calories each - NOT 600!

This is BY FAR the very best muffin I've ever made, and I've made thousands, lol. I just served these to my husband and kids about 10 minutes ago and they love them. I doubled the recipe, and the only change I made was in the amount of butter - at the last minute I realized I only had one stick of butter, and had all the rest of the ingredients mixed already (so no going back, lol), so I substituted a half a cup of applesauce for the second 1/2 cup of butter. They are marvelous! If I could give six stars, I would!

Outstanding! Great recipe for leftover oatmeal. Quaduapled recipe to freeze extras for hubsands lunches and snacks for kids. The only change I made was to use 1 cup melted butter and 1 cup applesauce to replace the other cup of butter, used the suggestion from another reviewer. Also didn't add raisins, my leftover oatmeal had raisins and cinnamon in it. Family loved them. They are delicious and moist. Thank You!
