Magnolia Cafe Oatmeal Muffins
"your kids will never know they are eating their oatmeal...this is an old fashioned treat..I sometimes add raisins, dried cherries etc..it is a good recipe to alter the ingredients as you choose..I have a little trick..when I decide to use raisins..I beat eggs lightly..add desired amount of dried fruit and let them sit in egg mixture for a little while on counter..I find that this plumps up fruit very well.."

Horribly tasteless and disappointing -
These are some of the yummiest muffins I've ever made. So moist! Not too sweet. I added raisins to the milk/oatmeal mixture to soak which seemed to work well, and used whole wheat flour. Used large flake oatmeal. -
Followed the recipe exactly,adding raisins,using your trick to plump them up.....thanks for the tip. Enjoyed by all the family. A recipe that I will use often, thanks for posting. -
I followed this recipe exactly, and these muffins are delicious! I was surprised that it is just as good, if not better, than the buttermilk oatmeal muffin recipes I have used previously. Truly an "old-fashioned treat." Thank you for a keeper!

I read the reviews and decided to make these muffins based on those reviews. I have no idea who these would rate a 5 star. I used 4 times the amount of cinnamon and luckily I added raisins and dates and a sugar crunch on the top otherwise they would have been completely tasteless. they need at least 3/4 cups of sugar, perhaps some nutmeg?? The oats are overwhelming and at least 1/2 cup should be ground to a finer consistency. Even with the additions I made, they are not "company worthy" and these will be going out to my chickens this morning. A really disappointing result and a waste of 2 really good free range eggs.
