Quick n Easy Oats Strawberry Muffins / Cup cakes

Ok, this one came out really easy and quick option for a Sunday afternoon. Warm and lazy, we were resting and enjoying some old flicks on Star gold.. which is offcourse a favorite pass time for S. He lloouuuvvveessss Old hindi movies. So, we were watching some old flick and I was getting soo bored. Its amusing how my heart pangs for kitchen when am bored. I went into the kitchen and looked for something to make, rather bake. Didnt have any idea what am I going to do, I vaguely prepared the stuff for muffins. I had never baked em before, and I surprised myself with the results. Its was soo damn easy. Why did I never try it before???… Looking for more such afternoons now after that … S more than me 🙂

These muffins are so easy and quick to make. Loved the texture and color. With the addition of Oats, they have got some guilt free factor of their own. Since I only had strawberries in store, but any berry can be used for these. Dried or fresh, berries will do their work.. to lure you 🙂
