Very good muffins which are super easy and taste great! We made 12 muffins from the recipe - only change was just using all white flour.

Nice tasty muffins, but they didn't rise like I thought they would though. Nice litlle dessert for us tonight. Will be trying again in the future. Made for Zaar Stars.

These muffins are very tasty! They have a wonderful soft texture and a lovely crunch from the oatmeal on the outside. I added raisins and reduced the sugar by half and it was just the right amount of sweetness for me. This is the perfect muffin recipe for breakfast! I will surely make them again soon! Thanks so much for sharing, Boomette! Made for Everyday is a Holiday February 2009.

These were a hit for flavor and texture. They really resist browning though. I baked them for 20 mins and they were fully done but had barely a blush of color. That said, it certainly doesn't keep them from being good eating. I used Splenda for the sugar and no added sugar syrup. Love the whole wheat added to the recipe.

Looking for a recipe using oatmeal I came across this recipe. The concept of this recipe is good. I found this recipe very easy to throw together in no time. I chose to up the milk to 3/4 cup and maple syrup a dallop more. Loved the muffins looking forward to making them again.
