These easily qualify as breakfast. Stuff with fruit and oatmeal, they're hearty and not overly sweet. Even with the icing and sprinkles the guys demand.

Oat, Apple and Raisin Muffins
- 1c. raisins -- Big Guy won't eat raisins, so I use extra apple instead
- 1 c. chopped apple -- I grate it instead, and use a cup and a half.
- 1/4 c. oil
- 3/4 c. milk
- 1/3 c. sugar
- 1 c. all-purpose flour
- 1 c. quick oats
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. nutmeg -- I use just the cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. allspice

Oh my goodness!! I am (ashamedly) a thirty-something with Boots’ tendencies toward finger-jabbing and angry accusations...
