The muffin is bland and the topping fell off. The next time I make them I will incorporate the topping into the batter then bake. Hopefully that will add some overall flavor.

I made these into 12 regular sized muffins following the directions exactly, baking for 19 minutes. These taste fine but there isn't a ton of flavor to them, I don't think. They don't taste anything like a snickerdoodle to me. The oatmeal does give them a nice texture, but with their lack of flavor I'm not sure I'll make them again.

First time making snickerdoodle muffins and really enjoyed these little muffins!! Had to stop myself from eating them all ;) Baked them about 15 minutes in a 350F oven. Thanks for sharing! :)

I gave these 3 stars. I made these for my family Snow Day (no school) big breakfast. These were good but not overliked by my family. I don't think they tasted anything like a snickerdoodle. My 3 yr old newphew said they were good. My 4 yr old newphew said he didn't like them because they had no taste. I just liked them. I really liked the texture of the oatmeal I was afraid it would be to chewy or just would feel uncooked but it gave the muffins a more full texture which made them very filling. When making them I thought the batter was to thin and I was afraid that they would not turn out but they did just fine. Overall these were good and I will try these again but I'm adding cinnamon to the batter to give them more flavor. Thanks for posting a good recipe. Christine (internetnut)

What a perfect breakfast! I was too conservative with the sugar topping, but realized they needed the sweetness. To fix it, I melted a bit of butter, brushed it on top of the muffins and added more sugar. I also set my oven at 375 for 13 minutes. They were the perfect size and tasted great too! Next time, though, I think I'd like to add a touch more sugar to the batter. Thank you for posting this great recipe!!
