HEART HEALTHY OATMEAL MUFFINS



Heart Healthy Oatmeal Muffins image

"Hearty" and filling, these low fat breakfast muffins taste great without adding cholesterol or added oil to your diet. Muffins store great in a covered container in the refrigerator - just warm in the microwave. I have been experimenting with cooking low fat and low cholesterol recipes for my husband. Bake in a pre-heated 400 degree oven.
