Oatmeal Muffins

I made these versatile Oatmeal Muffins that are great for an after school snack, dessert, or even breakfast!

I made two different batches - one with chocolate chips and vanilla protein powder; the other with vanilla protein powder, chia seeds, and strawberries.

You can add all sorts of mix-ins and toppings!

The kids eat them either chilled, or warmed up for a few seconds.
