Raspberry Banana Oatmeal Muffins with White Chocolate Chips

These muffins don't have the classic muffin look. They are a little rugged looking and not necessarily the prettiest, but the taste definitely makes up for the look.

I was surprised by the taste of these muffins. I was hoping they would tase good, raspberries and white chocolate are such a delicious combination. However, with all of the oats in the muffins I knew it would not be the classic muffins taste. But then again I did not feel so bad eating 1 or 2 of these muffins a day because they had so many oats in them.
