Whole Wheat Strawberry Muffin
Muffins are always a great breakfast for kids. They are easy to grab and go and are a delicious start to the day. This recipe is great because it also includes fruit. Sometimes kids are more likely to try new fruit when it is served in a different way. These muffins, can be served with fruit and milk, to create a balanced breakfast.
