This Recipe Makes 1 Dozen (12) Muffins

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.

Frequently Asked Questions & Cooking Tips

Expert kitchen guidance and troubleshooting for making the best Oatmeal Muffins

How should I store Oatmeal Muffins to maintain freshness?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 to 2 weeks. For milk-based sweetmeats like burfee or soji, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 to 10 days.

Can I substitute butter with margarine or oil?

Pure butter or ghee provides the authentic rich aroma and texture characteristic of traditional Indian sweetmeats and bakes. Margarine can be used in a pinch, but butter delivers superior flavor.
