Lightly sweet and nutritious these oatmeal and hemp heart muffins are a great way to start the day!
Muffins are so often cupcakes without frosting. Not so in this case, you can feel good about eating and serving them at breakfast.
Quick & Easy
The butter is melted in these muffins meaning no planning ahead to soften it before creaming. They whip in a hurry so they can be made early in the morning.
They store extremely well, so don’t be afraid to make them the night before either.
Substitution Ideas
Skip the butter and use melted coconut oil or any vegetable oil for that matter. Pureed unsweetened applesauce will also work in place of the melted butter.
Filling Nutrition
Hemp hearts have healthy omega fats and a nice dose of plant-based protein, while also providing a nice, nutty flavor to the muffins.
Oats have filling whole grain nutrition and fiber to help give the muffins some filling staying power in the body.
Just a bit a sugar satisfies the sweet tooth and pleases the palate as well without feeling like a cupcake has been consumed for breakfast.
Serving Ideas
While one can absolutely just eat the muffins plain – try some of these ideas for even more filling meal:
- Eat with eggs as a complete breakfast meal
- Spread the muffins with some softened cream cheese
- Smear some nut butter on top for even more filling protein
Freeze Extras
The baked muffins freeze beautifully. Simply place the baked muffins into an airtight bag or container.
Thaw as needed, use up within 6 months for best flavor (and before freezer burn).

This was a great recipe! Delicious and easy. I added chopped dates and it was a hit in the family! Thanks for sharing.
Oh goodness, the dates must have been yummy! Thanks for letting me know how you enjoyed it.
Too dry
These were delightful. Super easy. Good structure and consistency. I will definitely make them again (and while they were lightly sweet as described, I might add a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract next time)! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh the vanilla would be quite good, I think. Thanks so much for letting us know how it worked out for you.
