OATMEAL MUFFINS
Muffins are a good food, but commercial muffins are often laden with more sugar and highly processed oils than any of us want, and they tend to be expensive as well. These are simple to make, and they are good for breakfast or afternoon snacks, and to take along to picnics and trips. (If you get into the habit of taking food along on trips, it will save you thousands of dollars over your lifetime.)
1 1/2 cups almond flour
1 cup oatmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup sugar (use honey if you prefer)
1 heaping tablespoon baking powder
3 eggs
1 cup milk or almond milk
1/4 cup butter
Flavor options:
1/2 cup chopped dates; 1/2 cup cranberries and 1/8 cup grated orange rind; 1/2 cup blueberries; 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans; or 1/2 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Mix together the eggs, milk, sugar, and butter in a large mixing bowl. If you are using any of the optional ingredients, put them in now.
Pour the almond flour, oatmeal, salt, and baking powder on top of the milk mixture. Fold the dry ingredients into the mixture gently. Be careful not to stir too vigorously. The batter should be a little bit lumpy.
Fill 12 lined muffin cups with batter. Bake for about 20 - 25 minutes.
Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.
