Healthy Oat Breakfast Muffins

Mornings can be busy, and these breakfast muffins are a healthy option to grab on the go! This is a simple one bowl recipe that can be made ahead. This recipe is gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free which makes it a healthy option for adults and kids. My kids love these breakfast muffins and I like having them on hand for those mornings when you are tired or have a lot going on. Especially when you are trying to get out the door to get to work or school! They also freeze really well, so I like to make a big batch and defrost them as I need them.
