Strawberry Oatmeal Muffins

While overnight oats aren”t my cup of tea (pun intended!), I’m a huge fan of giving classic recipes a healthy twist. That’s why these strawberry oatmeal muffins are a staple in my kitchen! These delicious and nutritious muffins are perfect for busy mornings when you need a quick and satisfying grab-and-go breakfast. Packed with the sweetness of fresh strawberries and chocolate chips, they satisfy your cravings while being surprisingly light on Weight Watchers points, clocking in at just 3 points per muffin.

But beyond their convenience, I love that these muffins are made with wholesome ingredients. Oats provide a good source of fiber and complex carbohydrates, keeping you feeling full and energized throughout the morning. The addition of fresh strawberries brings a burst of vitamin C and antioxidants, while the bananas add natural sweetness and potassium. So, if you’re looking for a delicious, healthy, and convenient breakfast option, give these strawberry oatmeal muffins a try! You might just be surprised at how much you enjoy them, even if you’re not a fan of traditional oatmeal.
