Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins


I love muffins on a Sunday morning with my coffee. The problem is that most muffins are packed with butter and sugar and tons of calories. This recipe is not just easy to make, it's incredibly healthy as well. Each muffin has only 88 calories and 3 grams of protein and fiber. These are an energizing breakfast or pre-workout snack. Best of all they take less than 30 minutes to make.


Full recipe after the jump.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
