Magnolia Cafe Oatmeal Muffins

"your kids will never know they are eating their oatmeal...this is an old fashioned treat..I sometimes add raisins, dried cherries etc..it is a good recipe to alter the ingredients as you choose..I have a little trick..when I decide to use raisins..I beat eggs lightly..add desired amount of dried fruit and let them sit in egg mixture for a little while on counter..I find that this plumps up fruit very well.."

Horribly tasteless and disappointing

These are some of the yummiest muffins I've ever made. So moist! Not too sweet. I added raisins to the milk/oatmeal mixture to soak which seemed to work well, and used whole wheat flour. Used large flake oatmeal.

I followed this recipe exactly, and these muffins are delicious! I was surprised that it is just as good, if not better, than the buttermilk oatmeal muffin recipes I have used previously. Truly an "old-fashioned treat." Thank you for a keeper!
