Almond Joy Muffins Recipe
When I was in New York for the Fancy Food Show over the summer, I had the pleasure of meeting with the folks from McCann's Irish Oatmeal. You've probably heard of them.
McCann’s® has been warming the hearts, minds, and souls of the most discriminating oatmeal lovers for more than 150 years! And there is a reason McCann's Irish Oatmeal has such a devoted fan base.
Why We Love McCann's for a Healthier Muffin
There is minimal processing, nothing artificial, and nothing added to the rich texture and nutty flavor of McCann's Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal. You're getting 100 percent whole grain Irish oats. That's what I want for my family.
People are interested in full transparency when it comes to what's in their food and how it's produced. McCann’s Irish Oatmeal has earned its first Non-GMO Certification from the Non-GMO Project for three of its core products
- Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal in the 28oz. Tin
- Quick & Easy Steel Cut Irish Oatmeal in the 24 oz. Canister and
- Quick Cooking Rolled Oats in the 16 oz. Box.
I can't wait to see what you think of these yummy treats made with the great taste of McCann’s Irish Oatmeal, perfect for breakfast or an afternoon snack. Learn more about McCann’s® on their website.
