HIGH-FIBER POMEGRANATE-OATMEAL MUFFINS

High-Fiber Pomegranate-Oatmeal Muffins image

I adapted an old recipe my grandmother used to make by switching to white whole wheat flour, adding flax, and using agave nectar instead of sugar. This makes a fantastic high-fiber, moist, low-glycemic breakfast treat that my 2 toddlers love. Hope you enjoy!
