Mocha Oatmeal Muffins
These mocha oatmeal muffins are filled with walnuts and oats. That's a great excuse for having chocolate for breakfast, right?
These muffins are a wonderful grab-and-go breakfast for busy mornings. Along with a piece of fresh fruit, they are substantial enough to keep you going until lunchtime.
They are easy to make and bake within an hour, and are delicious served warm or at room temperature. For me, the recipe made 24 muffins, but you can easily halve the ingredients to make 12 muffins. I made the full recipe and surpised our neighbors with a dozen!
If you skip the muffin liners, or add more batter to the cavity, you might end up with about 18 muffins. I used a level ice cream scoop of batter per muffin.
