Breakfast worthy muffins!!

These are muffins that even the health nut mommies can agree on...  Hmm, like me!  I really hate the muffins that are basically cupcakes but without the frosting, but I make them because, well we are muffin junkies!  I really like these, and will be making these from now on.  These are perfect for all my groups out there, well almost!  They are healthy, kid-friendly, waist friendly, small families, and I have been told they are only 3 points on the WW diet!  But that isn't from a official source, I don't even know how to find that particular information out.  I hope you guys can enjoy them as well as my family does.

Two Optional Topping Ideas:

Combine all ingredients with a fork until crumbly.


To Make the Muffins:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin pan with paper liners.
2. In a mixing bowl, use a whisk to combine the dry ingredients.
3. In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients.
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, and stir until just combines.
5. Divide batter evenly among 6 muffin cups.
6. If using one of the optional toppings (My kiddos like both toppings, but prefers the streusal), sprinkle it evenly on top of each muffin.
7. Bake for approximately 25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean!
