Mom's Oatmeal Muffins

"Easy to make when you need something quick and they're not loaded with sugar and oil. You can put whole wheat pastry flour in place of the regular flour for more nutrition which is what I do. Most of all, kids really like them!"

  1. Quite good! I took the advice of the other reviewers and added cinnamon (1/2 tsp) and vanilla (1 tsp), which really added some good flavour. I found them to be a tad dry, but I think I just have a preference for very moist muffins. Was very careful not to overmix, and they turned out perfectly fluffy. Next time, I'd like to substitute apple sauce for oil like others have done! Sounds delish!
     
  2. I was looking for a simple and fast recipe to replace my usual just add water Quaker muffins and these were perfect! Thank you for sharing!
     
  3. these were really good. i added some oragne juice and some orange zest to give them a different flavor. i think i stirred them a little too much though
     
  4. Excellent muffins. Instead of an egg I added an extra teaspoon of baking powder and 2 tablespoons water. I also added 1 tablespoon corn meal.
     
  5. I had high hopes for these muffins. They stuck to the paper cups and were gummy. I used the applesauce instead of oil and increased the sugar to 1/3c. I did make a mistake though. I forgot to look at the oven temp until 10 min after cooking.

  3. I found these a little dense and bland but I'm not rating because I made so many substitutions that it was probably my own fault. I added 1/8 tsp cinnamon, 1 TBS flaxseed meal, 1 tsp vanilla, 1/4 cup raisins, and subbed 4 TBS applesauce for the oil. My son refused to eat them and I also decided they weren't worth the calories on my diet.
     
  4. Awesome recipe! I've substituted oil with 4 tablespoons of unsweetened apple sauce, instead of regular milk I've used vanilla flavored Soy milk with no sugar added, I've also added a teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2 1.5oz boxes of raisins. Those muffins came out nice and moist. I had to make a second batch pretty much within minutes! Thank you for sharing =).P.S. I've made this with bananas, apples, pears, blueberries and strawberries. Such an easy recipe to add ingredients to!
     
  5. Great, easy recipe! The only substitution I made was using applesauce for all oil.
     

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I was born and raised in Utah. I was a graphic designer for ten years for a local school district. I have since moved on but still enjoy doing that for fun. I love to cook, read, listen to music, craft things. I don't think I really have a favorite cookbook. But if I had to pick it would be one that was written up by women in the area with home recipes. I think those are the best. Probably one of the reasons I enjoy Recipezaar so much.
