Oatmeal Muffins



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.

Healthy Apple Cinnamon Muffins


My hubby is a big fan of cinnamon. So i keep on searching for baking recipes with loads and loads of cinnamon flavour. This recipe one came out perfect! 

Its sure a healthier version of the muffins with no oil and sugar. I made some changes in the original recipe after reading the reviews --- increased the cinnamon by 1 tsp, milk by 1/4 cup, added 1 more egg,  and reduced the apple to 1.

Also i added about 4 tbsp of raisins and walnuts as my kids suggested!! It turned out really yummy!!! i still can smell the cinnamon all over my kitchen!

Banana Crumb Muffins & Banana Walnut muffins!


Do u know the muffin man the muffin man the muffin man the muffin man..

LOLs.. when ever i make muffins both my kiddos sing this :)

All Recipes is my fav website for baking. The main thing is that the recipe will have lots of reviews which will help to make thr original recipe better and healthier.

I made the Banana Crumb Muffins from this site last week and followed the recipe exactly, except that i used 1/2 cup of sugar and used oil instead of butter. It was so soft and moist and yummy. And another thing i didnt add the topping because i thought it might be very sweet.

When i made it this week i made it more healthier. I used whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour, 1/2 cup of brown sugar and added 1 tsp of cinnamon. Still it was yummy and moist and soft. I sprinkled a lil bit of quick cooking oats on it. I also added 1/4 cup of walnuts and raisins this time. 

Altogether it was delicious.
