Strawberry Oat Muffins

Strawberries are a long time favorite of kids everywhere, so let's make a healthy muffin with them! I love eating oatmeal for breakfast in the morning. I like to switch it up with different fruits to dress it up. There are so many ways to eat oatmeal! I turned my breakfast oatmeal into muffin form.

It's a yummy, healthy and dairy-free treat! Perfect for kids for part of their breakfast or a snack. The combination of honey, oats and strawberries will have your kiddos asking for more!

FUN FACT: Strawberries get their bright red color during the ripening process when the sugars in the strawberry become more concentrated. There are also natural chemicals in the strawberries called “anthocyanidin” which contribute to the red hue as well.
