FRUIT AND FIBER ENERGY MUFFINS

Fruit and Fiber Energy Muffins image

They are dense muffins, kind of like an energy bar. If you eat oatmeal daily this is a great way to have it on the go. 2 muffins are equal to 1/2 cup oatmeal. Muffins should be refrigerated.

From "The Harrowsmith Cookbook". I haven't made these yet, but I will be soon. My classes start really early this year, and I want a healthy grab-n-go breakfast that I can eat on the bus.

These are healthy and hearty. They can be frozen in a zip-lock syle freezer bag and later microwaved individualy for an out of the oven fresh taste. Great for a quick pick me up! My husband appreciates these! The recipe is a personal adaption from another muffin recipe.
