Oatmeal – healthy breakfast

Oatmeal is one of the staple in my home!! My kids love it and i add a lot od flavours to it! After cooking it sometimes i add raisins, or a grinded apple or pear or chopped banana, chopped nuts – walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds (they really love the crunciness) or what ever they insist!
All u need is a 1 cup milk and 1.5 tbsp og quick cook oats and heat both a pan till the milk boils. You can also add salt and/or sugar to this. But my kids dont like to add both. They straight away like to add the topings to it!

Yesterday night i had a lot of reasons to bake muffins! I had brought this silicon muffin cups and wanted to try on it so badly! And my Dh was coming home late from work and the kids were in bed by 9 pm and i had pretty much nothing to do. Then searching for lots of recipes especially the ones with oats i came across this recipe. It was a good base but i added a lot of things to it.
The recipe was is very easy to make. I started of by ( pm and the first batch was already in the Oven by 9:25pm!
The changes i made in the recipe are
- added 1/4 cup of applesauce
- added 1 large chopped pear
- added a medium sized mashed banana.
- in some of the muffins i added half a tsp of Nutella
- in some i added chopped dates and walnuts
- in some i added a tsp of strawberry jam in the middle
Altogether they were delicious. And i love love love the silicon muffin cups. Just turn them upside down the muffins are out and you dont even have to wait for it to cool.
