Fruit & Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

These grab and go muffins are super tasty and filling. They're chock full of good for you stuff like oats, bananas, apples, and raisins. This is a great recipe to use if you're looking to use up some ripe bananas like I was! I took some liberty with the recipe from Eat Good 4 Life and added some vanilla and left out the nuts because I didn't have any. I also left the skin on my apples because I like the color and texture of it. Overall they turned out great and will make a good breakfast for the next few days. Enjoy!

  3. I made them last night and it made 16 muffins. I filled them almost to the top. Maybe my muffin tin is smaller than Brandi's :)
