Should have read comments first. This “batter” was like scooping vegetable soup. Used whole milk, doubled the strawberries, added ground ginger, probably should have included the egg yolk. You can see they’re going for a little to no-fat recipe. The result was flavorful but unsatisfying rubbery “muffins”.
Soak oatmeal in milk & eggs. Use 1/3 cup oil or melted butter. Use one whole egg. Add 1-2 teaspoons of vanilla to wet ingredients. Use whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat. Use whole or 2% milk. May require up to 1/2 cup extra bc of whole wheat flour. Double or triple strawberries and stir into flour mixture. Consider cutting back on baking powder to 2 tsp. Possibly add extra sugar to compensate for bitterness of whole wheat flour.
@Lulu Abbott Forgot to add 1/2 tsp of salt!

These were good but would benefit from a little salt. I would suggest adding a half teaspoon or so of salt to the batter.
