I just wanted to share that a healthy, balanced diet includes foods that make you happy and nourish your soul!

P.S. Are you hesitant to make these muffins (or any baked goods, for that matter) because, if you have one, you won't be able to stop until they're all gone? Because, for some reason, baked goods are your ‘can't-stop-once-I-start' food? Then I highly recommend listening to this podcast episode to learn how to change this!

P.P.S. Want to enjoy muffins for breakfast but find that they always leave you hungry in an hour? Try pairing a warmed muffin with some yogurt (see photo below) or crumbling one on top of oats for some extra satiety!
