As much as I would love to lounge in bed each morning with breakfast and a cup of coffee, it’s just not a reality. Quick, healthy foods are my go-to during the week and I save the pancakes and leisurely brunch menu for Saturday and Sunday. Most of the time I like to crumble half of the muffin over some greek yogurt and fruit for an extra flavor burst. This recipe is low fat, includes raw oats and even better warmed up if eaten alone.
