Cranberry Oat Muffins

These aren’t heinously spongy like most oatmeal muffins, and they actually have respectable mushroom-y muffin tops. You could always change up the berries in this, if you want. I love these!

delicious! The rich sweet molasses flavor provides an excellent contrast to the tartness of the berries. I thought about skipping the topping and I'm glad I didn't, because it lends a wonderful crunch. I used coconut oil in place of vegetable oil, and vanilla coconut milk in place of the regular milk. I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow, so I can eat another one of these muffins!Reply
