Oatmeal Muffin Mix and recipe

I love to keep this easy mix on hand to make Sunday morning muffins. A dear friend requested the recipe this morning, and I thought I would share it here. This would make a great gift too. I put some of this mix in a pretty jar in and tucked it in a basket filled with apples, mini pumpkins and a pumpkin scented candle for Jeff's sister Jackie as a hostess gift recently.
