Very good Miss Annie. I do like oatmeal and these made a very good muffin. I added extra cinnamon and doubled the recipe. (I knew I'd want more than a dozen!!) I thank you and my freezer thanks you!!

i thought these were ok, but a little bland for my taste . i think i would add more sugar and spices if i tried them again.

I loved these muffins - not too sweet and very hearty. I used whole wheat flour and they turned out great.
