A delicious and healthy breakfast idea – these muffins are made with whole wheat flour, lots of oats, fresh apples, and Greek yogurt.
Most of the time I don’t mind getting out of bed early, but this morning was one of those “I’m dragging a little” mornings. The fatigue might be explained by the series of very strange dreams I had last night, which I am now unable to remember. It is amazing what kind of scenarios my mind is capable of creating while I’m asleep. I’ve been a spy in multiple wars, a ninja, a brave explorer, a detective (think Sherlock Holmes), and all manner of other interesting personalities over the years.
So, basically, I’m a rather unassuming, ordinary person by day and a superhero by night.
Yep.
I should come up with a superhero name for myself. No, actually, that would be weird and slightly narcissistic. Never mind.
If I’m super about anything, it’s probably coming up with new muffin recipes. (Of all the talents I could possess, it had to be that.) But hey, you can never have too many options when it comes to breakfast, right?
These Apple Oatmeal Muffins are full of good things – oats, apples, yogurt, and whole wheat flour. As is my usual, I sweetened them with Sucanat, but you can substitute it with regular sugar.
Happy breakfast!
