Yummy Prairie Honey Oatmeal Muffins

This recipes comes to you from the Canadian living magazine June 2006, but I actually found the link for the recipe on their site so here it is http://www.canadianliving.com/food/prairie_honey_oatmeal_muffins.php
My kids and husband loved these muffins. They all said that I should make more.  I made a few changes to the recipe to cut down on the fat and add a little more nutrition, so here they are.  I used 1 cup of milk with 1 Tablespoon of lemon juice to make the buttermilk, for the 1/3 oil I used unsweetened applesauce and a little bit of coconut oil. Instead of brown sugar you can sub in palm sugar (aka coconut sugar) or a little bit of agave nectar.  For the topping on some I used raw cacao nibs, some I put a few chocolate chips on the top, and the rest I sprinkled with unsweetened flaked coconut.  Tomorrow I am going to mix up another batch and set them into the muffin cups and freeze them raw so when I would like to have a fresh batch of muffins ready in the morning I can just take out the frozen batch set them in the muffin tins and put them in the fridge to thaw out over night so their ready to bake in the morning. Yum.
