Strawberry Muffins

Surprise!! 

                                         I made muffins!!

I usually don't make baked goods because I have no will power.
I will  want to eat them all..

But these muffins are not for me!
They are for my grandkids!
 

 I made them a snack that provided solid nutrition, that tasted good, and one they would enjoy. I then packed the entire tray up ( minus one for tasting)  and sent them home with them.

Think I turned the strawberry hearts the wrong way.. will try again..

Muffins are simple to make and you can put all kinds of healthy ingredients into them. I put oat flour, chia seeds, banana, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc.. Since little ones often like to snack rather than eat a big meal, healthy muffins can be a great way to help boost their nutrition. Muffins can be packed for on the go eating and taken to the mall, playground, or anywhere you are going.

They also can be eaten for a quick breakfast.. Just keep them in the freezer and take out one or two as needed. They defrost very quickly and are packed with nutrition.

Most muffins usually take about 5 minutes prep and about 25 minutes to bake. Not bad....

Ready, Get Set, Go!! 

Get those muffin tins out and start making these wonderful, delicious, muffins!

Don't forget to freeze a batch for whenever you need a quick breakfast.. The combination of the bananas and strawberries makes these muffins fabulous.
