Yummy Oatmeal Muffins!

I love oatmeal but my kids go back and forth on it. And when mornings are hectic, it's not the easiest breakfast food to make and serve. I've discovered and tinkered with a recipe for oatmeal muffins that is delicious, healthy and easy to throw into a lunchbox for a yummy snack. As you can see, my little guy loves these too. 

Yummy Oatmeal Muffins

Preheat oven to 375. In a bowl, combine:

  • 2 cups of rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1.5 cups of milk
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 TB coconut oil (or melted butter)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 grated apple
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • (optional) 1/3 c unsweetened coconut

Mix well and let the mixture sit for about 30 minutes. Pour into muffin tin with cupcake liners and bake for about 25 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.

Welcome

​The morning rush with kids can be a drag. Sometimes the hurdle is getting the kids dressed ("But Mom! Why do I have to get out of my pajamas now?") and sometimes it's breakfast ("What do you mean there isn't time for pancakes?") and other times it's about time in general ("How can it be time to clean up? I JUST started playing!"). 

In our house, the last thing we have time for is an argument about what to pack for lunch. That's why my daughter chooses lunch in advance. Every morning, I breathe a sigh of relief once we get past the "what's for breakfast" conversation. ​All I have to do is look to see what she has chosen for that day's lunch and pack it. No questions, no arguments, no fuss.
