lovely muffins, I really love the idea of mixing plums and oats in the batter ^^
I just made these today with my girls and OMGOODNESS! They are wonderful!!!! This recipe is a total keeper!
Can’t wait too try these muffins! Thanks for a great sounding recipe!!
That’s a lot of muffins. Does the recipe go half very well? It seems like it would…
Hi Amanda – We never tried to cut it in half but please let us know how it comes out. Thanks!
Within in a couple days I have made 8 dozen of these muffins they are so yummy. Maybe I can freeze some this time around.
LOL! Glad you enjoy them!!
Thanks for your feedback!! Glad to hear you love them!
Just made these and they not only smell amazing, they taste amazing!!
Have that bitter rhubarby taste but are sweet at the same time.
It tastes more like baked oatmeal as opposed to a muffin. Would definitely make these again. I hope my 2 & 4 year olds like them for breakfast too!
How many cups of cup of fruit would that be. And skin and all?
