Healthy Muffins

TGIF!!!! Does anyone else agree??

So I guess this must be the week for cooking because I have another recipe to share. For quite a few years now my Mom has been making these muffins, they've become quite a standard in their house these days. Every time I stop by I'm tempted to grab one from her "cookie jar" where they can always be found. They are oh so yummy, but also so good for you. Even Patty boy likes them, that in itself says a lot. She also switches them up by adding different fruits such as strawberries, blueberries, or bananas. I also like the fact that they are mini (bite size) muffins, great for popping in before a

work out for a boost of energy or to snack on throughout the day.

I made a batch of these last night and usually keep just a small bowl out at a time, the remainder freeze great until you are ready to eat. This recipe makes at least 50+. 

Enjoy!
