Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Muffins are made with old fashioned oats, overripe bananas, fresh strawberries, cinnamon and basic baking ingredients.
My kids love sweet treats in the mornings and muffins are a favorite. However, most muffins aren’t really “healthy” so it isn’t always the best option for you or your kids. These Strawberry Banana Oatmeal Muffins are guilt free though! They are sweet and delicious but still loaded with healthy ingredients like oats, banana and strawberry.
