Guilt-Free Banana Oatmeal Muffins

Now that we are smack dab in the middle of bikini season the question is how to keep off those extra pounds that were most likely shed during the previous few months in anticipation of the pool parties and beach days to come.  These banana oatmeal muffins are just the key! They are low calorie, don't include any white flour, or unnatural sugars.  I actually got this recipe off of Lauren Conrads blog http://laurenconrad.com/. If you are interested in fun, girly blogs I definitely recommend checking it out!  Anyway, I was a little skeptical about these muffins since they lack almost everything that makes a muffin a muffin.  I was really impressed with the finish product and found it a great grab and go breakfast on those days you are running late (never me of course...).  Give them a try and let me know how you like them.  Try out different combinations of fruits and nuts to add in and get creative!!
