Coffee Cake Oatmeal Muffins

These Coffee Cake Oatmeal Muffins are soft, moist, and have a delicious crumb topping. They are a great breakfast treat or afternoon snack. This post is sponsored by Pacific Foods.

This recipe originally posted in 2016 used Pacific Foods oatmeal. This product is no longer available so the recipe has been adjusted. Be sure to check out Pacific Foods’ other great organic foods. They have delicious soups, broths, plant-based milk, and more.

You may have noticed I have a bit of a thing for muffins. I’ve already shared chocolate chip muffins, raspberry lemon muffins, banana muffins, and a roundup of other bloggers’ delicious muffin recipes. I even have a muffin cookbook. The thing with muffins is they are an easy and delicious grab-and-go breakfast option. 

My other muffin recipes have used my homemade baking mix (a Bisquick alternative), but this one is different. It doesn’t use the baking mix and it features a unique ingredient, leftover oatmeal.

Coffee Cake Oatmeal Muffin Recipe

Leftover oatmeal may not seem like something you’d want to save to use in a recipe. However, it’s really delicious in these coffee cake oatmeal muffins and it’s a great way to reduce food waste. The oatmeal also helps make these muffins extremely soft and moist. 

I originally also made this recipe using Pacific Foods oatmeal which was premade and you didn’t even have to add milk or water to it. Sadly they discontinued that product but you can still make this recipe using leftover oatmeal.

How to Freeze Coffee Cake Oatmeal Muffins

If you have a small family like I do it works really well to freeze your muffins. I like to freeze most of mine to make sure they stay fresh. The best way I’ve found to freeze muffins is to line a cookie sheet with wax paper, place the muffins on the sheet, and place them in the freezer for about an hour.

Once they are frozen all of the way through, remove them from the sheet and place them in an airtight container in the freezer. My favorite containers for this are Pyrex containers.

All you have to do to enjoy your frozen muffins is let them sit out overnight to thaw. It’s a great thing to have on hand for surprise guests as well. I sometimes will heat them for a couple of minutes in my toaster oven so that they are nice and warm. One of these coffee cake oatmeal muffins with a cup of coffee or tea is the perfect breakfast.
