Healthy Molasses Raisin Oat Muffins are a perfect clean eating breakfast idea to have along with yogurt. Made with no refined sugar and other healthy swaps.
Healthy Molasses Raisin Oat Muffins
I have a confession. I am a molasses lover! There I said it. I could literally eat it by the spoonful. I know some of you may have just cringed a little at that thought.
My love goes way back to Sunday’s at my Grandmother’s house. Those Sunday dinners always included fresh homemade biscuits. My dessert of choice was always a biscuit covered in butter and molasses. Let me tell you. It is fantastic!
But, unfortunately, those molasses and butter smothered biscuits are not this girl’s best friend when it comes time to stepping on a scale. Now I find healthier ways to satisfy my little molasses cravings.
These healthy Molasses Raisin Oat Muffins are delish and make a perfect breakfast or snack to have alongside a cup of greek yogurt.

These muffins looks amazing on that light blue backdrop. Beautiful photo and beautiful muffins! 🙂 I’ve pinned the recipe for when I’m feeling extremely naughty. By the way, I also love molasses and palm honey, which is similar, but even better for me. I found you on the Thrifty Thursday link party.
