Jonathan Mullen
These are very good. I used brown coconut sugar, whole wheat pastry flour and, what I was a little worried about: rolled oats bc I didn’t have quick oats. They turned out fine. Like others, I added some vanilla and a cup of blueberries. This recipe made 16 what to me are standard size muffins.
Abigail Stevenson
Family loved them. Very moist. I added choc chips to some and grandson loved.

I’ve been making these (minus the cinnamon) for decades, the recipe was originally from an old Rodale cookbook. All of my kids grew up on these. I’ve taken them to many potlucks and such, where they are always very well received, disappearing quickly and getting me lots of requests for the recipe. They’re great as is, but they also make a wonderful base for almost any addition that you could think to add. Diced apple (with cinnamon); raisins; banana; chocolate chips; blueberries or other berries; diced peaches- these are just some of the additions that I’ve made to these over the years, and all were successful. They’re also especially delicious with a little streusel in the middle of the muffin and on top.

Hearty and moist, Sprinkled a bit of cinnamon sugar mixture on top . Made 24 mini’s and 12 regular size. Loved them!
Rodney Johnson
These came out moist and delicious. I increased the cinnamon because that’s what we like. I also added chocolate chips to half the recipe just for fun. The taste is mild so add-ins would work fine.
Melissa Wood
I really liked this recipe. I can see where some people felt it needed more. It wouldn’t be amiss to add more cinnamon. I added some chocolate chips to one batch and raspberries to another, so it makes a great base. Plain, they taste like an oatmeal cookie. Overall a pretty good recipe.
Bethany Cunningham
Made them with my granddaughter. They past the “taste test” with five stars from the whole family.

Delicious recipe. Great for getting rid of sour milk. I typically cut about half of the butter with equal parts applesauce. I do the same with the brown sugar, replacing with stevia for baking. I also like to 50/50 the white flour with wheat. I’ve also replaced the egg with flaxseed flour and water. I’m sure the recipe as written is THE BEST, but the healthy version is pretty good too.
Brian Wolf
These are great, 5 stars with some added ingredients. I add 1 tsp of almond extract and then add different fillers – chocolate chips in some, strawberry jam in the middle of others, and blueberries in the rest. I have 3 picky kids and I love recipes that make them all happy. They love these!
Angela Stewart
I added a little vanilla and cinnamon for more depth of flavor and also used one cup of whole wheat flour. Nice and moist muffins! They keep well too in an airtight container.
Denise Hernandez
I’m making this recipe with only a couple additions. I like to add white chocolate chips to it.
Elizabeth Lee
Muffins turned out beautifully. In future I will as more cinnamon and also add some ginger and nutmeg. Delicious.
Michael Steele
III substitutes 8 ounces of unsweetened applesauce because our granddaughter is allergic to eggs. It is fantastic. I have made them 3 times!
Joseph Hunt
I did the recipe for 12 muffins….If I had known how good they are, I would have made 24! On a recipe for 12, I added 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup dates and 1/3 cup of pecan…..The BEST
Joanna Richardson
I use this recipe often. I use 1 1/2 cups whole wheat four in place of 2 cups whit flour. I also sometimes add some chocolate chips if I want a sweet variation.
Laura Hernandez
It’s a good starter recipe like others have said. Good for breakfast. I added dried cranberries and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract – but still bland. I think next time I make it I will add a teaspoon of orange extract – it needs a little “zip” to it.
Darren Gutierrez
I used old fashioned oats and let them soak in the buttermilk while I prepared the other ingredients and added an extra 1/4 cup of buttermilk to this mixture. I used 1 C of whole wheat flour and 1 C of regular flour, added some vanilla (just eyeballed it), 1 tsp of cinnamon, and a cup or so of walnuts. I ended up with 30 muffins. This is a great base recipe that is good as is or you can add in what you like!
Amy King
I added cranberries, applesauce and nuts
David Sawyer
These are delicious and easy to make! Took about 1 hr from start to finish. My daycare kids love them and so do I, especially warmed and served with a glass of cold milk. Hearty, healthy, and a bit chewy from the oats. I made 48 mini muffins and 8 regular muffins. I’ve made these several times and prefer to spray the pans, because the muffins tend to crumble a little after pulling off a paper liner. Whole wheat flour is great in these too!
Christine Bates
These were great! Based on the other reviews of needing a little something extra I did add an extra 1/4 cup brown sugar and and extra 1/4 teaspoon of salt and they came out beautifully! I’ll definitely be adding this one to my fave list. Thanks for the recipe.

Added a few frozen blueberries- also put them in mini-muffin pans and made 72!! Perfectly delicious with morning coffee!
