Apple and Oat Muffins

I’m ashamed to admit, but baking these muffins might have been the most productive thing I did all weekend…

I will say though, I love being in bed by midnight and waking up Sunday feeling well rested! Sometimes I’m totally okay with having nothing to do on the weekends and being unproductive. That’s what the weekend is for, right?

I came home from church this morning feeling motivated to find a healthy snack that was easy to make. I always like having a little something at work around 10am that will hold me over between breakfast and lunch.

These muffins took under 30 minutes from start to finish, and make the perfect mid-day (or breakfast) snack!
