STRAWBERRY OATMEAL MUFFINS
Muffins get a bad reputation. But muffins can be deliciously healthy and provide not just a quick to-go option for those hands on-the-go, but a nourishing start to your morning. This was created when my daughters and I over-indulged in the number of strawberries we purchased at the farmers market during the summer. We purchased A LOT!!! So, insisting to my husband that we would definitely eat all the strawberries before they turned into a fermented treat or we ran out of freezer space, I made these muffins and WOW, did they cause a continued purchase of strawberries all season long!
