Just Muffin Around....

If the only muffin top you've experienced recently is the one hanging over your jeans...well then that's just sad! I am a huge fan of muffins, the tops being the best part, especially if they're covered in toasted nuts....delicious!

Today I was in a bit of a baking mood (the question is, when am I not?), so I decided to make up a muffin recipe. Anybody who knows me at all, knows that I'm kind of a health freak. Recently, I've been on even more of a health kick than usual. So I wanted these muffins to be filling and healthy. That kind of thinking led me to come up with these.

The great thing about this particular recipe I've created is they're so simple. You can seriously add anything to them! Blueberries, cranberries, nuts, apples, cinnamon, you name it! For my purposes, I added a banana cut into teensy little chunks and some chopped almonds on top.

Soak the oats in the soymilk for 20 minutes. Add the egg, oil, and agave, stirring to combine. Stir in dry ingredients and any add ins. Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes. Makes 1 dozen.
