Benefits Of Baking With Oats
We love using Oats in our recipes. We have a lot of them on our website. From Oatmeal Pie and Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies, to these Peanut Butter Reese’s Piece Cookies and Pumpkin Granola, we like cooking with oats because it’s a great way to give any recipe a healthy, wholesome boost.
Oats are very nutrition rich. They can lower cholesterol and help blood sugar levels. They are rich in antioxidants and loaded in important vitamins and minerals. So, they are always a great ingredient to put into some of your “indulgent” recipes. It doesn’t necessarily make them “healthy” but it gives them a boost of something good!

Notes, Tips and Suggestions To Make Them Healthier!
- CAN YOU SUB THE MILK?: Yep! We used whole milk for this recipe. But you can substitute for skim milk, 2% or any other milk. Almond milk would also work great!
- DAIRY FREE: If you need to make these dairy free, you can substitute the milk for applesauce.

- CAN YOU FREEZE THESE MUFFINS?: These are great to freeze! We love to use these Freezer Bags. They are tough, durable and have new grip and seal technology that makes them super easy to open and close. Freeze the individually so you can just grab what you need as you need it!
