Heart Healthy Whole Wheat Muffins
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.
