Banana Zucchini Oatmeal Muffins

These Zucchini Banana Oatmeal Muffins are an incredible, healthy breakfast.  They are made with no refined sugar, oil or flour and are perfect for meal planning on the go.

They are made with natural ingredients and are gluten-free too. Next time I make them I plan on adding a scoop of unflavored protein powder as well to have an even more balanced snack.  Or you can just have one alongside a cup of homemade Greek yogurt for some added protein.

My husband and father-in-law headed out this morning to do some fishing on The Cape.  It is the perfect Summer day in New England today!  I tell everyone that Summers here are they only thing that gets me through the Winters.

I know hubs likes to have healthy snacks to munch on during the day, so I made these delicious zucchini banana oatmeal muffins for them to take along.

Having one of these muffins is like having a cup of oatmeal.  They are perfect for on-the-go without the added fat and sugar.
