Maple Oatmeal Muffins
Tender , moist and delicious Maple Oatmeal Muffins are sweetened with real Maple Syrup. No sugar added, just real Maple Syrup. Grab yourself a cup of coffee or a big glass of milk while you savor the flavors. The oatmeal provides a nice chew while the walnuts add just the right amount of crunch. The muffins are sweet but not overly sweet, letting you enjoy the touch of cinnamon in the background.
I decided to make Spiced Maple Butter to spread on the muffins. A simple easy flavored butter with only three ingredients. Butter, Maple Syrup and cinnamon. This delicious concoction would be wonderful on toast, pancakes or waffles. Adding the spiced butter to the muffins is like adding a scoop of ice cream to pie, it doesn’t need it to make it delicious , it just takes it up and over the top to AMAZING! Enjoy!

I will be making these muffins in the next 2 days, but have a question. My hubby is diet-restricted from nuts, so can I use a larger amt of oats or just leave out the nuts & go from there?
You can leave them out or substitute roasted pumpkin seeds or sun flower seeds Mary.
Made for the FF&F FYC Tag Game & tagged mainly because I favor using oats as an ingredient in baking. I did opt for some chgs that worked well for me. As I mentioned, hubby cannot eat nuts, so they were left out & not substituted as he’s also a bit of a purist for baked goods. He likes sweet treats, but likes them best if lightly sweet & uncomplicated. So to please him, I left the tops plain but served them w/the spiced maple butter which he loved. We did a taste test w/afternoon coffee yesterday & froze the rest of the yield for a family brunch. Thx for sharing this recipe. 🙂
These sound delectable! Found you at the #HomeMattersParty linkup!
Thank you Rachel!
You had me at maple then you added oatmeal and went above and beyond with the maple butter! So glad you shared with us at Merry Monday. Pinned it and plan to share this week on my FB page.
Thank you Shirley!
My boys & I are eating some of these delicious muffins for breakfast right now.
They are absolutely perfect! They’re moist, just sweet enough, with a good chew… They’re just so yummy & satisfying.
And the maple butter would make such a great holiday or hostess gift!
Thank you for the delicious recipe! 🙂
Oddly enough (We LOVE Cinnamon usually…) The family like it without this time…the light Maple taste got too overwhelmed, my husband commented.
[…] These maple oatmeal muffins have no added sugar, getting their sweetness from the maple syrup instead. They are a yummy afternoon tea option or an anytime snack really. Serve with the delicious maple butter for what tastes like an indulgent treat minus the indulgence! […]
