    Baked Blueberry Oatmeal Cups

    Baked Oats trend done in lil muffins so they are perfect for meal pep, or for sharing.  Loaded with blueberries and chocolate chips these muffins are not only healthy but also delicious.

    Oatmeal is fiber rich, so they will keep you satiated and full for hours.

    Flax adds in more fiber, as well as omega-3 fatty acids which has been shown to have many health benefits.  They can be used to improve digestive health, lower blood pressure and bad cholesterol, and reduce the risk of cancer.

    Most of the sweetness comes from applesauce, making these muffins even more nutritious
