This morning a new recipe from the Washington Post Food section sounded interesting so I tackled it.
This picture doesn't really do them justice because they look like cookies.
They're actually muffins.
Maple Oatmeal Muffins and they came out pretty well.
By that I mean they tasted great but I think they could have used an extra minute or two in the oven.
The blotches you see are dried cranberries, sometimes called Craisins.
It's a pretty easy recipe that incorporates some applesauce, cinnamon, a touch of ground cardamom and vanilla, along with the rolled oats and maple syrup.
Like I said, they turned out pretty good on a first attempt but the next time I make them I'd probably bake them a tad longer.
Happy weekend, friends!

They look very good, I like muffins less dry, so I might prefer these.
It's going to be our first hot spell here in the PNW, supposed to hit the mid-90's both Sun and Monday...I'm going to limit use of the stove and oven. Tonight I'm having a Copper River sockeye fillet on the grill outside and a salad. Ceviche tomorrow with a baguette.
Hope you and Judy have a good weekend.
I love your food posts!
Too hot to bake over here! No matter what Elton John song you're singin!
87 here right now. I'm too dumb to limit cooking on stove or oven. 'Course we have A.C.
Gracias!
Turn on your air conditioning, Tiny Dancer!
They look great.
Better clean your glasses, Red! 😄
You're quite an adventurer when it comes to new recipes. They look good to me.
As I said, (I think) they were tasty.
I've only ever had bought muffins and they were always dry and tasteless, so I haven't tried any since the 90s.
I am craving something sweet this week.
They do look good! I like the new fern picture in your header.
Yum! They look so delicious. And I like your new header! (NewRobin13)
Thanks for sharing. I'm glad they tasted good. I'd never heard of the term "craisins".
I would like those muffins because oatmeal and maple are two favorites. Also I like things underdone. (weird, I know!)
Yum! They look delicious. I'm not a huge Craisins fan my muffins would have dried blueberries.
Next time you are in England you are welcome to call round with a tin of those suckers.
Those sound good. I like the addition of cardamom. Unfortunately to get the recipe, one must subscribe. Ah me.
