Brace yourself! Baked Oatmeal Muffins (the perfect ride grub)

See those tasty little morsels to the left? I'll give you one guess what they are....
Nope, not bran muffins.
It's Marie's baked oatmeal gone portable!!!!  It's ok to admit it, I know I just blew your mind.
It just so happens to turn out that baked oatmeal makes the perfect portable for bike rides (and I'm thinking camping too!!!!!!) Don't even try to contain your excitment. It's just too much to hold in. Go on and dance. You know you want to :-)

For those of you that don't have it already, here's the baked oatmeal recipe.  We usually double it and bake it in a 9x13 pan.  

Ingredients: 
1/2 cup canola (or vegetable) oil
2 eggs (beaten)
1 cup sugar (I usually use 1/2 cup brown sugar or maple syrup instead)
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup quick oats
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk

Directions:
  • Preheat oven to 350 degress
  • Combine oil, eggs, sugar, and vanilla
  • Add oatmeals, baking powder, vanilla, salt, and milk
  • Bake in 8x8 (or 9x9) glass pan for 30-35 minutes (or until the top is nicely browned). Longer if you like lots of crunchies.
