The last few weeks I have been getting so much better about taking some time (when I can find it) to meal prep for the week. I prep salad toppings so lunches are covered, then for breakfasts I have been making both overnight oats and these oatmeal breakfast muffins. I love these muffins because they are so versatile! In the recipe you can see I have a few additions you can mix in to the basic recipe for different flavors. I made an apple cinnamon, peanut butter chocolate chip and lemon poppyseed – all of them are so good! And the best part is that Ruth loves them and they are easy to grab and go if we are running late to school. Oh and they freeze well too. Such a win! The recipe calls for rolled oats & oat flour. If you didn’t know, oat flour is just ground up oats that you can make yourself if you have a blender or food processor. But you can also buy oat flour – I get mine from Thrive Market. You can also use quick oats in the place of rolled oats if that’s all you have on hand!
How to make Oatmeal breakfast muffins
These muffins come together incredible easy, you need one bowl and your muffin tin. I mean you can’t beat that. Combine all your dry ingredients, old fashion oats, oat flour, flax meal, chai seeds, baking powder, cinnamon salt. Once you have all the dry ingredients in a bowl be sure and mix with a fork or whisk to evenly distribute and break up any lumps. Next fold in the applesauce, dairy free milk, maple syrup, egg and vanilla extract. This should all come together relatively easily and be ready to drop into muffin tins! The best thing about this recipe is the versatility.

I used silicon cupcake cups. Flowered directions to a T. Still cooking after 45 mins. Is it the silicon cup
That’s interesting, it should not take that long in cupcake cups. Have you checked your oven temp?
These look great, plan on making them tomorrow. For anyone who doesn’t have oatflour on hand, just throw a cup or 2 in your blender and it will make the flour for you. Super easy. I love the mild flavor and health benefits of the oatflour, always love trying new recipes with it!
Great reminder!! Enjoy!
