Lets get straight to the recipe. 

• You can use any type of oats but I prefer whole/old fashioned type.
• You can use regular yogurt instead of Greek, just drain the excess water. 
• A sprinkle of sliced almonds not only adds the crunch but a visual appeal as well.
• As like other muffins, you can store them in airtight container for a couple of days and in freezer for a couple of weeks,wrapped and boxed.
