Maple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffins

My 10 year old daughter complains about my “healthy snacks” all the time. I think she would eat doughnuts all the time if I let her. These maple cinnamon oatmeal muffins are actually one snack that she approved – REAL maple flavor hearty muffins – you can even add some diced walnuts in the recipe while baking. Just sprinkle it on top.

Oatmeal is super healthy!

According to EverydayHealth.com, you should east oatmeal every day for the following reasons:

• Oats contain both soluble and insoluble fiber
• Oats make an easy, balanced breakfast with protein
• Oats provide important minerals
• Oats are naturally gluten-free
• Oats could help you control your weight

I love that these naturally healthy oatmeal muffins are actually flavored and sweetened naturally by maple syrup and maple-flavored yogurt! Ah-mazing!

Would you believe that maple syrup is really good for you?
Not only does maple syrup have various antioxidant properties that are essential for healthy living, but it also improves heart health and strengthens the immune system!

I feel really good stuffing these in my kids’ lunch bags like these other healthy snacks.

I also love these Easy and Healthy Pumpkin Muffins Recipe and of course my grandma’s muffins – Mildreds Blueberry Muffin Recipe.
