Oatmeal Muffin Mix-in-a-Jar ~ Free Printable Recipe Kit

'"How fast Duchess is eating!" thought Ribby to herself,

as she buttered her fifth muffin."

Welcome to our Saturday morning staple, hot coffee and warm muffins! These golden treats are quite addictive, especially when you know there isn't an ounce of white flour or sugar in them (since you know they are healthy, you may find yourself eating more ~ ahem). They are sweetened with honey and taste deliciously moist!

This is such a low maintenance breakfast, especially when you prepare a batch as pre-made pantry mixes. This is quickly made while you have out all the ingredients! It is especially simple with our recipe kit which includes the directions, jar labels and instruction labels. I like to prepare 6 jars at a time but larger families may want to make a dozen of them. What is also nice is that if time is really critical, you can just dump the batter into an 8 by 8 pan for less labor. 

To Make the Mix ~

Place inside a quart-sized jar the following ingredients:

• 3 c. oatmeal

• 2 tsp. baking powder

• 1 tsp. sea salt

• 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Place lid firmly back on jar and give it a good shake for a final blend. The mix is now complete. Simply label and attach directions to the oatmeal mix (our short cut direction labels are found on the printable). 

To Prepare the Muffins and/or Baked Oatmeal Dish ~

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Mix together in a medium mixing bowl:

•  ½ c. oil (we like to use sunflower oil or coconut oil)

• 2 eggs, beaten

• ½ c. honey 

• 1 c. milk 

• oatmeal muffin mix

Stir ingredients together until combined.

~~ Divide mixture into 12 lined/greased muffin cups and bake for 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden around sides.

OR

~~ If in a hurry, pour mixture into greased 8 by 8 dish and bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and set.

The nice thing about making your own mixes is that you can control the quality of ingredients. Instead of iodized table salt, we were able to use the healthy Himalayan pink salt. Instead of baking powder laden with cancer causing aluminum, we can choose the "clean" version. Instead of sugar in the recipe, we are able to use honey this time. It is a win-win and a wonderful way to stock your pantry!

My husband loves to take them out on the tractor with him as they keep him feeling full and satisfied in the early morning. Delicious and nutritious! HERE is our printable recipe kit that you may want to add to your recipe book. Happy pantry building, ladies! P.S. Please do let me know if any of you download this kit, I am curious how many enjoy these types of pantry projects! :)
