Baked Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins || Clean Eating

My house LOVES breakfast!!  Like we take it seriously ;)   It is easy to derail a day at breakfast too but it can also set the tone for the rest of your day.  I found it VERY critical to my results and energy to eat breakfast and a well balanced one.  My kids like it all but they favor sweet breakfast and sometimes they like quick and easy.  (they are like their Momma and they want to eat as soon as they wake up)  So they have become quite fond of cereal.  We try not to buy it often, especially since we made some big health changes.  However I don't deprive them completely.

Although while trying to find happy mediums I stumbled across baking with oatmeal.  I just eat oatmeal with stevia but my kids are not fans.  We love bananas, we love oatmeal, we love sweet so this was a perfect combo!!

You can check out more recipes on my Facebook Page!!

My kids LOVE these & they can choose whatever toppings/flavors they want. You can store in the freezer, take one out the night before to thaw in the fridge, microwave for about a minute in the morning and stir in a little milk.
