Brown Sugar Oat Muffins

One day while I was browsing Pinterest, I came across a pin for brown sugar oat muffins. The picture looked yummy and so I clicked on the link to check out the recipe. As I read through the ingredients, I was highly disappointed as the recipe called for things like "sugar free breakfast syrup" and "soy or almond milk" and didn't contain eggs, or butter! I'd say I'm pretty traditional when it comes to baking, meaning I like to use butter, eggs, sugar and flour. So using the title of the recipe as my inspiration I came up with this awesome brown sugar oat muffin recipe that is fantastic.
