"Want something sweet, healthy, and a little different? The sesame seeds give a hint of nutty flavor and some unexpected texture! I like to mix additional sesame seeds and poppy seeds in the batter. Yum!"

Yum! I feel so healthy - and these muffins taste good as well! The muffin part isn't too sweet, but the crunchy topping really makes it special. I can't tell the sesame seeds are in there, but the oats give it a nice, hearty texture. Thanks so much! I baked them at 350 for about 20 mminutes, and that seemed perfect.
