Personal Notes:
I made this up on Jireh (our boat) while we were cruising in the Exumas. It was partly to use a random box of cake mix that was going to hit an expiration date, which I can’t stand, AND I didn’t have icing. You can use any type of cake mix and be creative on the other ingredients. The oatmeal and lack of icing allows this to be a muffin versus a cup cake. That makes it healthy for breakfast…right?
