Heart Healthy Oatmeal Muffins

If your household is anything like most other households, mornings are hectic.

Whether you’re in a hurry to get to work or school–or both–muffins make a quick morning meal that is easy to grab and go.

Quick Easy Oatmeal Muffins

These Oatmeal Muffins will surely hit the spot if you’re craving a little afternoon snack . Slice one open and top with some Homemade Strawberry Jam, which is utterly scrumptious.

Or, you could use a cupcake injector and add jam or another yummy filling into the muffins. We’re thinking nutella or an apple butter would be exceptional.

If you’re looking for another school lunch idea, these muffins are a delicious surprise to pack in your child’s lunch.

Whether you serve up these tasty muffins as is, or fill them with a fun surprise, this recipe is a winner every single time.

So, preheat your oven and put your apron on. It’s time to get baking!
