Tasty Tuesday: Cinnamon Walnut Oatmeal Muffins

...What a mouthful! (punny.)

Sunday late afternoon, after church and beach time with my momma, I decided to make a breakfast dish.

The idea made total sense at the time.

Pinterest is always great for recipes...but the recipes I had pinned I needed to go to the grocery store to get a few items. And it was just too great of a day to leave my house alone. 

There was baking and lounging to be done!

I wanted something oatmeal (duh) and I found THIS fantastic recipe!

I changed quite a few things, so here's my version:

Ingredients

Muffins:

1 cup sifted all purpose flour

1/4 cup of sugar

3 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup oatmeal

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (could use raisins, blueberries...my pantry had walnuts)

3 tbsp canola oil

1 egg, beaten

1 cup milk

Topping:

2 tbsp honey (could use brown sugar)

1 tbsp cinnamon

2 tsp all purpose flour

1 tbsp butter

Directions for Muffins:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Sift 1 cup of all purpose flour into a mixing bowl.

Add the baking powder and salt, and sift the ingredient all together.

Then add the oatmeal and walnuts into the mix.

(I decided to chop mine)

Then, in a separate mixing bowl, beat one egg well.

Then add the oil and milk; whisk.

Pour the oil/milk/egg into the big mixing bowl and stir well.

I added a dash of cinnamon to the mix.

Stir together and fill muffin tins 2/3 - 1/2 full.

Bake for 15 minutes.

I obviously didn't fill my tins equally.  Oops.

Let cool while you whip up the topping.

Directions for Topping:

Combine the butter, flour, cinnamon, and honey in a microwavable bowl/cup.

Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds; stir.

You can drizzle the topping or let it cool for a bit and then coat the top of each individual muffin. 

Like so:

Enjoy!

My family sure did...as they were GONE before I ate breakfast the next morning.

So much for a breakfast dish.
