The past few days have been extremely hectic for both me and S as we are moving to new house. Yup!!! We will soon be leaving the house which was our home for four and half years. I had moved into this house just after few months of getting married and made this house my home. There is so much to be done in so little time. The one thing that I have realized over this past few days is that, I am a hoarder. I had never realized that I had collected a huge packing case full of magazines. We really had a tough time sorting them out. So I guess I really don't need to tell you how chaotic my life is right now.
You must be wondering as to what kind of a mad woman can I be to bake these muffins amidst all the chaos. But believe me friends. It is these muffins which is tiding us through the "pick me up breakfasts" that we are having the past few days. Even though, the breakfast is a hurried one, I can at least make sure that I am having a nutritious as well as tasty one. So here goes the recipe

ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeletethey look so yummy! But I have a question: You wrote "oats or flour", but later you wrote: "combine flour, salt ... AND add oats". Which is it? "oats or flour" or "oats and flour"?
Thank you for the recipe and your answer! :)

Hi Kevin,
ReplyDeleteI apologize for the confusion. It is actually "oats and flour". I don't know how the "or" got in between. Thanks for letting me know about the error.
Hi, I blog over at MindfulMeanderings & have a weekly yummy tummy feature. I loved this recipe of yours and have done a post on the same. Hope tahts ok with you. :)
