This is the time of year that I have trouble making a menu plan because the weather is all over the place. Some days we have soup weather and some days we have grilling weather.

Here is this week’s menu plan.

Chocolate banana bread, waffles, muffins, and more are on this week's menu plan.

These leftover oatmeal peanut butter muffins are a muffin that kids and adults will love.
They work great for breakfast, snacks, lunchboxes, and even dessert.
They work great warm or cold, although I do prefer mine warm from the oven or reheated in the microwave.
These leftover oatmeal peanut butter muffins with chocolate chips are a dense, healthier type of muffin.
Well, they contain chocolate chips, so they are not exactly healthy, but they are not a light and fluffy bakery-style muffin. They are, however, delicious!
If you don’t have leftover oatmeal, you can just make oatmeal, let it cool, and use it in the recipe.
If you eat gluten free be sure to use gluten free oats.
