These muffins are the perfect snack to take along. They provide healthy fats, protein and carbohydrates that leave you satisfied and fueled. This recipe makes about twelve muffins. They are a great source of Iron and Calcium as well. I like to double the batch and freeze some for the future when weeks can be busy.
Snack prepping is just as important as meal prepping. It is often forgotten and many accumulated calories come from snacking. If we are set up with healthy snacks. We can make better healthy choices when those snack cravings hit!
