Baked Oatmeal Muffins – A Recipe for Connecting

Food has always been something that we use to connect with the people around us- Weisser cookies at every event, other healthy baked goods, or meals to share! I wanted to share  with you one of my favorite recipes and one of Sophie’s new favorite breakfasts/snacks! Muffins are a perfect thing to connect with a new community or to share with your tribe at any event! And, these are healthy and a hit with kids 😄Ingredient List: 

2 Eggs

2 Tsp Vanilla

2 cups Applesauce

1 Banana, mashed

1/2 cup Honey

5 cups Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

2 TBS Ground Cinnamon

1 TBS Baking Powder

1 Tsp Salt

2 3/4 Cups Almond Milk

Additional toppings (Optional): Chopped Apple Slices, Almonds, Blueberries, Raisins, Chocolate Chips, White Chocolate Chips

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

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

3. Add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Combine well with the wet ingredients.

4. Mix in the milk. (Your batter will look runny — This makes the muffins turn out very moist and yummy!)

5. Place muffin liners in your muffin tin. Use a 1/4 or 1/3 of a cup, depending on how big your muffin tins are, to evenly fill each muffin slot.

6. Add toppings on top of individual muffins. If you want to add toppings into the batter, transfer some of the batter into a smaller bowl and mix in your toppings. You can do this for as many toppings as you would like. Remember, you are not limited to the above list – Add all types of fruits and nuts or try some other dessert options!

7. Bake for 30 minutes or until they are cooked all the way through. (Check with a toothpick)

8. Allow to cool and then try your new creation! Be careful not to eat the whole batch- they are that delicious!

Makes ~30 muffins
