Oatmeal Flax Mixed Berry Muffins

 

Well, since my muscles seem to finally have recovered from soccer on Thursday, I went for a nice 6 mile run this afternoon! It was a great kickstart to the rest of a very productive Sunday.

Said Sunday included baking some mmm mmm tasty mixed berry muffins, meal planning for the week, doing laundry, cleaning, cooking dinner, and preparing lunches for the week.

The way I filled the muffin tins, this recipe yielded a nice, even 20 for me. After we each snacked on a couple…the rest of them fit perfectly into a Tupperware container! Gotta love that.

I think they’d freeze fine! And good call on swapping agave in. I’ll try that next time :)
