Oatmeal Muffins Recipe

Oatmeal is inexpensive and easy to make at home. We love making oatmeal muffins. These gluten-free oatmeal muffins taste sweet and nutty and are healthy and nutritious.

Oatmeal absorbs liquid ingredients more than other gluten-free or regular flours. Oatmeal is not 1 to 1 with regular flours, starches or nut flours.
