Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

If you are anything like me or the rest of America, you are probably looking for healthy alternatives to the things you love, but also don’t want to sacrifice all the flavors you have come to love so much. That is where this delicious breakfast muffin comes into play. I originally got a recipe from one a friend for oatmeal breakfast bars, and realized after starting to make it, that I didn’t have all the needed ingredients. Well, that is a good thing in our book. We are fans of NOT following recipes and figuring out substitutions for ingredients to still make something amazing. That is where this recipe came into its own. These mini muffins are delicious and very filling. They will satisfy your sweet tooth and make you feel like you aren’t eating healthy when you are.
