Oatmeal Muffins are delicious & will keep you really full just by gobbling a few of them. It is a quick breakfast meal or a delicious snack which can be consumed any time of day.

These muffins also help with constipation, lower blood sugar levels, increase growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract, reduce blood sugar & insulin response, etc.

I must admit that they may seem chewy & under-cooked but that’s just how the texture of these muffins are because during the process of making them, we will be soaking the oats first.
