It’s so cold outside right now that I barely want to venture out of the confines of my home. It’s easy to fall into the habit of snacking all day long, especially during winter. Yesterday I made a healthy snack that is as popable as potato chips, minus the guilt. (1 Smart Point per muffin)

These mini muffins have very little added sugar, but they're really delicious. The raisins give it enough sweet flavor and I love that they're not overpoweringly sweet. Hooray for snacks you don't have to sneak!

These mini muffin tins work great for so many things:
My favorite mixing bowls. They’re lightweight and easy to clean. I’ve had them for year and they still look brand new.

I totally feel you on not wanting to leave home in this weather. I’ve been staying indoors as much as possible lol. Pinning these to make soon!
Stopping by from the Real Food linkup. Thanks for sharing :D
I’m always looking for new things to do with over ripe bananas. These look great!
I love the way these are lower in sugar! They look so yummy. Thanks for posting.
Banana bread and muffins are my faaaaaavorite. I love them. I don’t make the bread often enough, which is a good thing. Then I am not eating it all.
These muffins sound amazing I like the addition of the bran.
What a perfect start to a morning with those. They look delicious, Heather!!!!
Banana Oat Muffin – now this looks yummy and I would love to give this a bite anytime!
This looks like a great yummy combination of Banana & Oat bran. A healthy food for sure considering all the ingredients used. Thanks for the great recipe with instructions.
What a great recipe now if only bananas didn’t make me burp so much. I wonder if I can leave the bananas out and make them oat bran. I am going to have to try.
Those sound like a nice quick breakfast. Just add some butter to them and have a cup of coffee!
