"This is my absolute favorite recipe for muffins because they are healthy, yet sweet, and have lots of substance. Definitely an oatmeal kind of stick-to-your-ribs breakfast (or snack). I usually make a double batch and keep them in the fridge in a big ziplock bag for whenever the urge hits anyone. My little brother's girlfriend can't wait till I make them again."

I made these muffins with a touch more cinnamon than specified, and they were delicious. Those who don't like "crunch" in their muffins should nix the nuts. I would certainly make these again.

I live on Florida's nature coast right down the road from a historic native american fishing village and some of the best sunset views there are! I have 3 beautiful children and my extended family lives nearby. I am going to school to be a registered nurse. My kids and I love the library and having campfires in our yard. We live in an area that people leave but always come back to-it has it's own quiet charm and probably will never be an urban area. We are involved in a Pentecostal church full of wonderful people as well.
