Apple Oat Muffins

Well, today turned out MUCH warmer than expected! So, I'm in my fall clothes when I really should be wearing a tank top and flip flops!

I'm ready for Saturday! I need more sleep, I need to get things done around the house and I want to hang out with my husband. Just one more day! I'm really not complaining, I am just looking forward to a day at home!

As promised, here is the recipe for the husband-approved, waistline approved Apple Oat Muffins! These really are good, especially in the fall. They are perfect for a hearty grab-and-go breakfast and extra good with a cup of joe! Hope you enjoy!
