Oats almond butter muffins are perfect for breakfast -  with mild  sweetness these are healthy treat. Fiber rich oats paired with almond butter makes it perfect for toddler snacks.These are Eggless muffins. Breakfast these days are going super crazy in our house. Jagadish leaves so early for work. He prefers packing the breakfast rather than eating at home. Many tiffin items don’t stay good if eaten after an hour or two. Moreover I find it super difficult to wake up early morning for preparing breakfast. I started exploring make-ahead breakfast recipes. It saves lot time for me during morning. If I bake something previous night and pack him I need not wake up early for preparing breakfast 😁He can just take it and heat it while eating. Above all it’s tension free morning.

These days at least twice a day we have oats for breakfast. Vishvak also likes oatmeal. When I thought about make ahead breakfast, oats was my first choice. Fiber rich start for the healthy day. Main ingredient check😆 One of my friends recently relocated out of Seattle, and she gave some kitchen syrup, sauce which she couldn’t take with her. Vishvak like pancakes with cream cheese. After trying the maple syrup she gave me, he started liking it. I thought why not use his favorite maple syrup as sugar substitute. Sugar part solved.

Nuts are something Vishvak is not fond of. I always try to add it in the food I make. Had a jar of Almond butter in my pantry. Now its Time to say hello to almond butter. If your kids like oats taste and you are looking for filling healthy muffins, here is the treat. I market these muffins to Vishvak by adding a maple syrup/chocolate layer over the muffin😂 One more specialty about this muffin is the simplicity to work on. You can use spoon/ladle to mix. No need for whisk or electric mixer.
