Oatmeal Coffee Cake Muffins

I woke up the other morning wanting something other than a bowl of Cornflakes. I eliminated the immediate breakfast front runners: pancakes, eggs, and french toast. I thought about oatmeal with some fresh fruit and voila, this lovely combo came to mind. Why not mix three of my favorite things: oatmeal, muffins, and coffee cake. What emerged, and rather quickly I might add, was a delicious, sweet (but not overly sweet) muffin with a crunchy top. Served with a side of fresh fruit and it made for a perfect Sunday morning breakfast. Stored in an airtight container, these puppies will keep for up to a week. And Remember most of the ingredients can be bought online @ www.pikpak.co.za.
