Baked Oatmeal Muffins

It's that time of year again...
Back-to-School!
For us that means sack lunches, crock pot dinners, 
and quick and easy breakfasts.
The quicker and easier, the better!
But that doesn't mean it can't be homemade. 
Now this all goes without saying, 
but did you know...
breakfasts made at home with whole foods 
are much healthier, 
contain less sugar
and are much more affordable
than packaged store-bought breakfast foods. 

So before you pass out the PopTarts,
think about how much better you'll feel about
sending your kids off to school with one of these:
