The best thing about muffins is that we can make them in advance, and they remain just as good the day after. This is why muffins are my favorite make-ahead breakfast. To make them as healthy as possible, I make them with bananas – a natural sweetener – and oatmeal – healthy grains. Full Recipe: Banana Oatmeal Muffins
