Mixed Fruit Muffins

I'm being REALLY creative here with my pantry items now and these muffins turned out pretty good. I've made Delmonte Peach Muffins before and the Mixed Fruit tastes very similar. I like the variety from the pear and pineapple chunks. I also added some chopped Macadamia nuts for some tropical flair. These muffins taste very light and great now that the weather is getting warmer (well, sort of for SF!). See...cleaning out the pantry can be FUN! :)

Ingredients: (12 muffins)

1 c quick cooking oats
1 c milk
1/3 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter, melted
2 eggs
1-1/3 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1-1/2 c or 3 (4 oz) Delmonte Mixed Fruit cans, well drained
1/2 c chopped Macadamia nuts

Prep:

1. Preheat oven to 400F. Grease or line 12 muffin cups.

2. In a large bowl, mix together oats, milk, brown sugar butter and eggs. In a separate bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir flour mixture into eggs mixture, just until moistened. Fold in fruit and nuts. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups.

3. Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into center of a muffin comes out clean.
