Hey Brenda,
I’m new to the whole “healthier cooking” lifestyle, but with seven children and growing doctor bills, I figured I had to try something. I have never used any sweetener other than white sugar and brown sugar so I’m going to try to just punt with honey, as I have no other type of sweetener in my home. Do you have other sugar free or gluten free recipes? On a side note any advise you have for making healthier meals would be great!!

I cut this recipe in half since I didn’t have enough of the ingredients. I didn’t have enough milk, either. I mistakenly bought regular plain yogurt instead of Greek style so I used 1 cup of that and 1/2 cup of almond milk. I also used peaches instead of banana and to my surprise, it turned out great!!

I had to reread the sentence about your first recipe being in Oct.,2011 and the oatmeal cups being in Feb.,2011. I looked and it was 2012. Haha!!! What a big difference in the pic!! I need to try those oatmeal cups.

I was so excited to see an oatmeal muffin recipe – until I read the ingredients. Do you have any W/O bananas. I can’t find one anywhere. I love oatmeal and nuts, apples and fruit, honey and all things good for me except Bananas. They are just too gross to eat – even when camoflagged in other foods…in fact, banana usually overpowers the other ingredients and all I taste is banana. I wish I liked them it’d make eating healthy easier. But I detest them. Can you help?

I love this bread! I have found you can put just about ANYTHING in it and its still good! Today, I am baking it with peaches along with the blueberries! Oh, and I add walnuts and pecans too! I also add ground flax seed. After its baked, I freeze it, bag it up in individual servings and its breakfast for me for two weeks! Im so glad I found this!

In reply to Leah. I've not tried subbing that but it sounds like a good idea!

Can you replace the milk with yogurt? If so, Would it be the same amount, or more, or less?

In reply to Tonya. I'm sorry. It was one of my very first recipes on my blog and so poorly written. I've just fixed it up a bit so hopefully that helps!

I wish you would combine the recipes that you have listed on those 3 different links. One doesn’t say in the instructions when to add the banana, one doesn’t even have flaxseed listed in the ingredients….this caused me some trouble making this my first time. Love the recipe and I can see why it’s so popular, it would just really help if you listed it a little more clearly on this main “muffin” recipe link!!

Delicious! I cut the recipe in half (baked in an 8×8 – still made a huge batch!) and omitted the sweetener. I decided it had enough natural sweeteners with the applesauce, banana and berries. I also used vanilla soy milk rather than regular milk. It was outstanding! I am going to divide the remaining oatmeal and freeze for future breakfasts.

This is the second oatmeal recipe of yours I’ve tried (crockpot pumpkin oatmeal). Thanks for your delicious and healthy recipes!

I made this with strawberries instead of blueberries & strawberry flavored applesauce. I also used vanilla almond milk instead. This is soooooo yummy! & It’s a hit with my 16 month old. 🙂

Thank you so much for this recipe! I was working with what I had in the cupboards and ended up substituting a can of pumpkin for applesauce and banana….4 of my 5 family members LOVE it…the 5th one doesn’t eat much of anything. Delish!
