HEALTHY FRUITS AND OATS MUFFINS

Muffins are great for breakfast, when it is healthy you can feed your kids and yourself guilt free. These muffins are rich in fiber as it is made with oats, pears and prunes which will help with constipation. They turned out really fluffy, moist and fruity makes an healthy go to snack. I made these muffins especially for my toddler, who is a picky eater, she enjoyed these. This is so easy and you can feed these for kids who doesn't like prunes, great to relieve constipation in kids. Muffins can be stored airtight at room temperature for 3 days, if kept in the fridge it will last for about a week. These muffins are great as go to snack for kids and working adults.
