Is this recipe gluten free?
Yes! This recipe is made with oats, not flour so if you have a gluten allergy or are looking for a healthier option, this is a great one!
Can these muffins be frozen?
Yes! Allow to fully cool after baking before placing in a freezer bag or container. I love to make these ahead for the week and freeze, they reheat perfectly like they were made fresh that day!
Are old fashioned or quick cooking oats better?
I have made this recipe with both old fashion oats and quick cooking oats many times and they are equally delicious. The biggest difference is the texture, it just comes down to your personal preference!
