Honey Oat Muffins

I was reading through the Costco Connection magazine when I stumbled upon a recipe for Honey Oat Muffins.  It required just a few basic ingredients, most of which I had on hand, so I decided to make a batch!

I made a few tweaks to the recipe - I didn't have unbleached all-purpose flour, so I just used "regular" flour.  I also used rice milk instead of regular milk, and I topped the batter with granola for some added crunch.

Because the recipe calls for olive oil, the muffins ended up moist and delicious, and the honey gave it a touch of sweetness.  I loved the addition of the granola! These muffins are great for breakfast or an afternoon snack!
