Baked Oatmeal Muffins

Baked Oatmeal Muffins

Ingredients:

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups applesauce

1 banana (mashed)

5 cups Old Fashioned Oats

½ cup honey

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2 ¾ cup milk

Cupcake liners

*Mix-in’s of your choosing: chocolate chips, raisins, craisins, blueberries, etc…

Directions:

1.      Preheat oven to 350 degrees

2.     Mix eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana, and honey in a bowl.

3.     Add in oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.  Mix well.

4.     Pour in Milk.  Stir.

5.     You can mix in your choosing of items now if you want them all the same or you can wait until you fill your cupcake tins and sprinkle on top.  (I just added chocolate chips to the whole batch and sprinkled a few craisins on top of some)

6.     Pour mixture into muffin pan.  Use cupcake liners!  You may even want to spray the cupcake liners with cooking spray.  They stick really bad, so either way, with our without cooking spray, use cupcake liners.   **Mixture will look very runny.  Don’t worry.  It will not be runny after cooking time.  These also do not rise much, if at all, so you can fill the muffin tin pretty close to the top.  I believe I was able to make around 20 muffins with this recipe depending on how high you fill each cup.

7.     Bake 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.  Cool and enjoy or freeze in a gallon freezer baggie.

If frozen- pop a single muffin into the microwave about 30 seconds.  If heating up more than one at a time, more time will need to be added.

*This is a favorite of Madelyn's for breakfast!
