Popping in quickly to tell you about my favorite healthy-ish snack: morning glory muffins. I've been making these for years and can't wait to share them with you. They're so easy and so delicious!
Over the years I've made a lot of adjustments to the original recipe to get it to be a bit healthier, but still tasty. This is my favorite version. Asher loves them too! Give them a try and let me know what you think!
