Muffins are great because they are perfect for when you are in a rush. Just grab and go. Most days I end up eating breakfast at my desk at work. Having food available that I can easily take with me is so helpful in the mornings.
If you enjoy maple brown sugar oatmeal, you will love these muffins. I made a couple of changes to the original recipe. First, I didn't have coconut oil, so I used some butter and some canola oil. Second, I didn't have enough maple syrup so I just used what I had which actually turned out great. I'm not sure that I would have wanted the muffins to be any sweeter. Third, since I ran out of maple syrup, I used honey in the topping. I'm not sure that this worked as well as syrup would have but it was better than nothing in a pinch.
I posted the original recipe below, which happens to be dairy free {unless you use butter} and egg free, so if you have allergies or sensitivities to those products you can still enjoy these muffins!
The muffins were delicious and I definitely plan to make them again. Maybe next time I will try adding some walnuts or pecans to the batter. So tell me...what's your favorite muffin?
