Breakfast oatmeal muffins are good for you
We make our oatmeal muffins with old-fashioned oatmeal. Oatmeal is low in saturated fat and cholesterol but rich in fiber.
I hope you’re not getting sleepy with reading this scientific stuff. But eating some form of oatmeal is a great way to start your day, plus it’s a natural whole grain oat that helps keep your energy level high.
Now, for those people who have problems with gluten, whole grain oatmeal doesn’t naturally contain gluten but it may have a small amount introduced in transportation or processing. Most people can eat the oats without problems.
If gluten is still a problem, there are brands of oatmeal sold as gluten-free,you can find a list here. This could be a good alternative for you.

We love using these silicone muffin pans. In fact we even take them along with us when we travel. They are light and if we don’t have muffin cups we just lightly spray them with vegetable oil.We set both muffin pans on a baking tray for ease in taking in and out of the oven. I know you’ll love them as much as we do.
