My toddler loves muffins, so thought I'd give these a try since they're on the healthier side! They were really good, not too sweet and have some good whole grains packed in. As noted, they are dense due to whole wheat flour and oatmeal. I made mini muffins instead of regular and pureed the strawberries. Made for Bargain Basement Tag game.
