It’s nice to have an easy grab and go breakfast that the kids love too! I like to make a batch of healthy muffins, freeze them and on busy mornings pop a few in the oven. Warm buttered muffins right out of the oven are always the best! These “healthy” muffins are actually still delicious. Recipe makes 12
