I must tell you that my daughter and I have a bit of an obsession with these Oatmeal and Nuts Breakfast Muffins. I don’t like sweets in my breakfast, I’m a savory breakfast kind of gal. But everybody deserves the occasional treat, and this is our preferred one.

These muffins contain no flour (great for celiacs – see notes), no added sugar (for those abstaining from processed sugar), no milk (I used almond “milk”), no eggs (kids can try the raw batter) and it’s loaded with fruits and nuts. And of course, oats, which doctors keep telling us are good for us.

Your kids will love these muffins. When we make these I always pack a few in zippy bags and keep in the fridge to add them to my daughter’s lunchbox. They never come back uneaten.

Buen provecho!
