Healthy Morning Muffins

Muffins are a great breakfast choice, when you make them healthy, because you can grab and go, which is usually how it goes for people on the work days. These muffins are simple but taste wonderful. I like to have one of these muffins with some scrambled eggs or turkey sausage.
