The Diet plan that my husband and I are trying requires oatmeal for breakfast but my other half is always in a hurry in the morning, only time for on the go options.... So to make this diet work for us, I started experimenting with sugar-free oatmeal cookies, then bars and have finally came up with my new favorite and fast low calorie oat muffins.....
