I've recently realized something profound - muffins can be made ahead! I know, it's a bit obvious. But it really hadn't occurred to me before. Now I can still sleep late(r) and my kids can have a home cooked breakfast too.
These muffins are full of wholesome oats and applesauce, plus they are low in fat and sugars. They are topped with a oat and cinnamon crumble topping that's just sweet enough to satisfy my sweet tooth, but not so sweet that I feel like I'm eating dessert for breakfast.
I cannot say enough good things about these muffins. My kids who snub their nose at anything that's the least bit "healthy" gobble them up and ask for more.
Healthy Applesauce Oat Breakfast Muffins
Time for a little confession: I didn't even make these muffins this time, I assigned my oldest to do it. She's a great cook and these muffins were delicious.
Not only do they taste good for breakfast, but I sometimes put them in my kids lunchboxes. Lunches don't get much easier than that!
