Pumpkin Apple Oat Muffins

Our toddler can't get enough of these and neither can we! They're moist and healthy muffins that are packed with lots of nutritious ingredients. Sometimes I top them with granola or a brown sugar streusel. They're heavy enough to fill a little one's tummy and keep them going all morning long. Tasty and low fat!
