Apple, Oat & Bran Muffins
A fast, easy and healthy way to start the day! Kids love these. Two small changes noted below makes them gluten free (that’s how we love them!) And, if you have any Apple Butter on hand, that’s a fantastic addition, too! Save any extras for the week ahead as a quick school day breakfast option!
