Oatmeal Raisin Muffins

this recipe

These small muffins are the perfect breakfast, snack, or even dessert!  Cross between breakfast muffin and cookie, they won’t last long! 

 These mini oatmeal raisin muffins would be perfect for breakfast or a snack.  Or as my two year old seems to think, a perfect little oatmeal cupcake suitable for dessert.

These little bit size snacks are tender on the inside, slightly crispy on the outside, sweetened with maple syrup for a decadent depth of flavor, and spiced with a hint of cinnamon.  Not to mention these are healthy treats!  No refined sugars or flours.  No oils, eggs, or dairy products.  These healthy muffins are made with bananas and applesauce.  A perfect way to sneak in some extra goodness.

These muffins come together quick and easy.  The base of course is oats,  Old Fashioned Oats lend a good hearty, chewy texture to the muffins.  A small amount of white wheat flour adds a little more stability and structure.  Sweetening with maple syrup highlights the drama of the cinnamon.  The maple syrup can be substituted for agave also, but will be missing that lip smacking quality of depth in all the flavors.

The banana and applesauce serve to replace any eggs and oils in these muffins.  Of course the bananas do lend a banana flavor to the muffins, but I loooove banana, so I have absolutely no problem with that!  Make sure you scroll all the way down to snag the recipe for these little tasty bites.  I have some more things to share with you first!
