100% whole wheat, these muffins are best fresh out of the oven (of course) but they keep well for at least a week in an airtight container, and are also wonderful split in half and toasted. Based on a recipe from Horn of the Moon cookbook.

This is my latest favorite muffin recipe! I love to have healthy muffins on hand for a quick breakfast option. I freeze the muffins after they cool and reheat them for 1 minute in the microwave before eating.
