Mom’s FAMOUS Granola Muffins

You have heard me speak of my mom’s incredible baking ability before so it is with much anticipation that I introduce my mom’s FAMOUS (Yes, they really are famous!) granola muffins.  She came up with this recipe entirely on her own and she has made them for as long as I can remember.  They have the winning combination as far as I am concerned. They are HEALTHY and DELICIOUS!

Oats are incredibly nutritious, just take a look! Half a cup of dry oats contains…

• manganese: 191% of the RDI
• phosphorus: 41% of the RDI
• magnesium: 34% of the RDI
• copper: 24% of the RDI
• iron: 20% of the RDI
• zinc: 20% of the RDI
• folate: 11% of the RDI
• B1: 39% of the RDI
• B5: 10% of the RDI
• calcium, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin B3 

This recipe is versatile.  It can be made as bars or muffins, it can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack, dessert, or energy bar!
