Oatmeal Muffins are the perfect on the go breakfast and snack with healthy old fashioned rolled oats, orange zest and cinnamon all topped with a crunchy oatmeal crumb topping. I love to serve these at holiday brunches with fresh fruit and Ham and Cheese Quiche. They are quick to mix, easy and dependable making them one of my favorite muffins.
