12 Reviews of Oatmeal Muffins

Very nice, although the nutmeg flavour is rather strong! I omitted the egg, as I usually do with muffin recipes, and scaled down to make 6. This recipe made very small muffins, and they didn't rise up very much, probably because I didn't use the egg. Next time I'll make this with 1 teaspoon (for 6) baking powder, and cinnamon.

These were good when they first came out of the oven, but not as good when they cooled off. They didn't have much flavor. Next time I would add more cinnamon and maybe a little bit of jam or applesauce. They were moister and lighter than I expected though.

These were pretty good, but they turned out very small and they didn't rise at all as the previous reviewer said. My mother also found the nutmeg flavor a little strong but I enjoyed it. I was short a half a cup of oatmeal so I substituted the already flavored instant stuff with the brown sugar and cinnamon- very good touch! I would make them again I think!

They ended up like solid little lumps; kind of dense and undistinctive in flavour. I'm a bit of a spice freak and I'd doubled the cinnamon, but even that didn't help. My quest for the perfect oatmeal muffing continues.

I adore these muffins and make them all the time. If you want a very sweet muffin, this isn't your recipe, but if you want a healthy filling muffin this is the ticket. They are chewy and wonderful - plus they make a great breakfast or snack!

I made these muffins for my daycare kids, but made several changes. I used 3/4 cups sugar, 1 1/2 cups oats, 1/3 cup canola oil, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 tsp pumpkin spice in place of the nutmeg/cinnamon. Not a muffin was left. Kids loved them and asked that I make them again!!!

These are good. I doubled the recipe and used self-rising flour, regular oats, 1 t vanilla, 3/4 c sugar, 1/4 t salt and just cinnamon - no nutmeg.

This is very similar to a recipe I have, but instead of water I use milk and I use vegetable oil instead of canola oil. I make them all the time and it's a big hit with my family!

These are great, filling little muffins! After reading the other reviews, I made a few changes before making the first batch. I used whole wheat flour for half of the flour amount. I added 1/2 tsp. of baking soda and replaced the oil with applesauce. I increased the amount of cinnamon to 1/2 tsp. and added 2 tbsp. each of craisins and mini chocolate chips. I only needed to bake them for 12 minutes. The muffins were a little dense, but they rose well and tasted great!
