Oatmeal Date Nut Muffin Recipe

Healthy Vegetarian or Vegan Muffin Recipe

These oatmeal muffins are a great way to get oatmeal into oatmeal haters. These substantial, chewy muffins are perfect for breakfast, or with soups, salads, fruit, or smoothies.

Feel free to tinker with this muffin recipe and make it your own - it'll work as long as you keep the basic proportions and muffin method. Try chopped fresh cranberries and orange peel instead of the dates.

For vegan muffins: substitute rice or soy milk, soy sour cream or soy yogurt for the dairy yogurt, and the juice of a lemon for part of the total liquid. Use oil or veggie spread instead of butter. Works like a charm!

18 medium muffins: Fill pans to the top - muffins should double in size.
