My sons birthday was this week. We let our kids pick their menu on their birthdays. My son choose pancakes for breakfast, waffles for lunch, and mom’s pizza (homemade) for dinner.

Oatmeal Muffins

March 11, 2008

My mom used to make these muffins all the time when I was growing up. They are not a fancy muffin but good. It is a great way to use up leftover oatmeal if you have some or you can make some just for the recipe. They are also fast and easy to make.
