Oatmeal Granola Breakfast Muffins

Disclosure: I made this delicious Oatmeal Granola Breakfast Muffins recipe using SPLENDA^® Sweeteners as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars #SplendaSweeties #SweetSwaps

We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start the morning right with these Oatmeal Granola Breakfast Muffins. Make up a batch of these breakfast muffins and freeze some for a quick on the go healthier breakfast option.

Today I am sharing another SPLENDA^®Brand #SPLENDASweeties #SweetSwaps recipe. This months SPLENDA® challenge is to come up with a breakfast recipe using SPLENDA® Brand Sweetener Products.

This Oatmeal Granola Breakfast Muffin recipe uses both SPLENDA^®No Calorie Sweetener, Granulated and SPLENDA^®Brown Sugar Blend. It is packed full of old fashioned oats and my Pineapple Blueberry Granola. You can use any granola that you have on hand or you can make your own homemade granola and use it in place of the Pineapple Blueberry Granola.

The best tasting homemade muffins always have brown sugar in them. The SPLENDA^®Brown Sugar Blend works just like regular brown sugar in this muffin recipe. It helps make the muffin texture soft and moist.

The cinnamon and small amount of nutmeg really add a nice spice flavor that goes perfect with the oatmeal and granola. These breakfast muffins are dense but tender and are filling.

I made some in a jumbo muffin pan and some in regular size cupcake pans. The jumbo muffins are perfect for an adult and the regular size are perfect for the kids. They are filling and perfect for an on the go breakfast option or just to enjoy in the morning when you don’t feel like cooking.
