There’s nothing quite like fresh baked goodies from the oven. Not all goodies are good for us though, which is why I was so excited about this recipe. Not too sweet and still a whole lotta taste. We dialed back the sweetener, added a whole bunch of fruit, whole grains and a little flax, and made out like bandits!
Sure, they don’t take the place of a green smoothie or bowl of oatmeal, but these muffins make a great snack on-the-go or a nice morning treat.
