we often make muffins with them. we start with the corn muffin mix and then Mom adds some flour to it so it isn't quite so gritty for her.

Tempting... but since I an trying to avoid gaining back the weight I've lost, "muffin" is a 4-letter word (in diet math).

About once a week I diverge from the usual oatmeal with frozen blueberries to have it with peanut butter and chocolate chips. YUM!

As I have mentioned, back when I was a kid, I'd melt American cheese into mine (which was unsweetened oatmeal) as did my mother when she was a kid. So to me, the idea of sweet oatmeal actually sounds disgusting (probably as disgusting as non-sweet oatmeal sounds to most other people.)

And I am happy to have found a collaborator this year close to me (also in SSE) who might be able to help maintain parts of my collection.

That is wonderful news! Congratulations!

Interesting! What is the approach, a single slice on top and it just melts from the heat of the oatmeal? I have sharp cheddar, gouda, and Jarlsburg. Would one of those work as well, do you think?

Are corn muffins the same as cornbread but made in a muffin tin?

More or less, though I generally added two or three slices (I like mine cheesy) broken up and then stirred them in.

As for those cheeses. Gouda might work (though plain gouda is a little bland to my taste) Sharp cheddar might be too oily and Jarlsburg too rubbery when melted.

I tried cream cheese once. Not much flavor, but it made it really creamy.

If you were looks for cheeses specifically to melt in, Raclette might be interesting (it's designed to melt anyway).

Yes. Try it!

Muffin top IS a belly shape!

Oatmeal with coffee this morning. Wish I could figure out how to enjoy it without so much brown sugar!

Try a little maple syrup.
