Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins

Another month has flown by and it's Muffin Monday again! This month's recipe is brought to you in part by my husband who buys variety packs of oatmeal but doesn't like one flavor that's in it. They were stacking up in the cabinet so I went searching the Taste of Home site for a way to use them up. 

These Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins call for leftover oatmeal, so I made up a couple packets and let them cool.  I did make a few other changes to the recipe, first subbing canola for the vegetable oil, that's what I keep on hand.  

Next up, the raisins.  While my guys will eat them, they don't really love them.  My son's vote was for cinnamon chips so I used those instead.  Chocolate chips, dried cranberries or other dried fruits would be great as well.

My one mistakes was forgetting to toss the cinnamon chips with some of the flour like my Gram taught me.   Most of them sunk to the bottom which made it harder to test when the muffins were done. I've noted it on the recipe for next time, and there definitely will be a next time because they're absolutely delicious muffins.

Thanks so much to Stacy for hosting #MuffinMonday and to all the other awesome bloggers who shared recipes today, be sure to go check out what they made using the links down below!
