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!

I like that they are bite sized. It’s a lot safer than having a big muffin and packing on the calories. I’ll be trying these out next week!
I have never cooked using oat bran. I should try this because these seem super healthy.
My kids would love these! Thanks!
YUM! These look perfect! Love banana muffins!
These look very tasty. I’m going to have to whip up a batch for breakfast next week. Pinned!
Those are perfect for lunch boxes and breakfast. I love how they are low in sugar
It is cold out and I have to go shovel the porch soon. I sure could use one of those muffins when I get back in.
Um, yes, MUCH better than potato chips, I would have to say!
Jacob has been on a banana bread kick this week. These would be a nice way to get a little change in.
These oat bran muffins are such a great way to get the daily fiber that you need. I’m sure they are delicious at the same time.
