Heart Healthy Whole Wheat Muffins

 

These heart healthy whole wheat muffins ARE AMAZING! So yummy!! With coconut oil, whole wheat flour and honey they are super healthy and FAN FREAKing TASTIC!!! --Kid Approved!

My kiddos started back to school this week! At first I thought I would jump for joy with all this “free time” I would have… But secretly I miss those little people! I still have little Miss Tatum at home to keep my company. But for the most it is pretty dang quiet around here between 11:30-3 (Boston is in afternoon Kindergarten) But don’t worry I’m sure I’ll adjust just fine and start to relish this little window of quiet bliss…
With the kiddos back in school, I needed a strong and healthy breakfast… I remembered a super yummy whole wheat muffin recipe I had stumbled upon awhile back… When I went back to the blog I had found it on I forgot how much sugar and oil was in  the original recipe so I decided to give it makeover and make it a little more healthy for my little people.
