Fresh Plum Muffins

Serves: 3

Muffins have been my ‘go to’ recipe lately! They are simple to make, packed with healthy, ‘fit’ ingredients and are a great way to use all the fresh fruit flavors of the season! I also really enjoy them because they are a great addition to some protein on a hot summers morning or make a great snack or pre workout meal. Plus, when you are in a rush or traveling on vacation you can put them in ziploc bags and take them with you without having to worry about refrigerating them! With all those benefits, how can you not love muffins!! ?
