Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins

The other day Nate got a BIG container of leftover oatmeal from our kitchen at GLM. After warming it up for breakfast I decided fresh oats was definitely my thing, but what to do with the leftovers?

Well a bit of internet research and fridge scouring for other ingredients and I whipped up these delicious Oatmeal Pumpkin Muffins.

Yum! I need to mix up some more this week! They are so amazing to have when that 3:30 snack break hits! Or after dinner snack. Next time I may add some walnuts or protein powder….it’s fun to be creative in the kitchen!

    1. Yum! Yep, I love throwing protein powder in everything–just added it to my oatmeal this morning! You could easily add it to these muffins,just decrease the ammount of flour by the amount of protein powder added and maybe adjust the sweetener based on the type of powder you have. 😀

    1. I haven’t tried it, but I wouldn’t see why not. I ate mine in like 3 days. Lol! I would definitely store in the fridge though.

  1. I have a recipe for oatmeal dinner rolls that uses cooked oatmeal. They are very yummy. I can send you the recipe if you still have oatmeal to use up.
