Oatmeal Muffins
Description
These Oatmeal Muffins offer a satisfying balance of textures and flavors, perfect for a wholesome breakfast or snack. The base of rolled oats and wheat flour provides a hearty, chewy texture, while the addition of egg whites keeps them light. A blend of warm spices—cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg—infuses the batter with cozy aromas, complemented by the bright zest and juice of fresh oranges. The natural sweetness comes from maple syrup, enhanced by bursts of tartness from dried cranberries and crunch from chopped pecans.Directions
