I have always had a fear of baking. The last time I baked was two years ago and nothing could salvage the horrible brownies mix I made that day!

Fast forward two years, I decided to conquer my fear of baking by making healthy, almost guilt-free muffins, and the result was AMAZING! So after careful research and a lot of drooling over heavenly looking muffins pictures on Instagram, I came up with this simple recipe which you should definitely try for these three reasons:

  • It is so easy that my three year old niece can do it (well probably she still can’t but you know what I mean).
  • It is definitely healthier and cheaper than those freakishly giant muffins you see in coffee shops.
  • You can make the recipe your own by adding your favorite ingredient to the mix. You can also make it gluten free.
