Honey Lemon Oat Muffins
Breakfast is quick and easy with these honey lemon oat muffins. They’re low in butter and sugar (skip the glaze for an even healthier muffin) and the hints of ginger really shine when paired with ginger tea. Also, they freeze really well (we froze half of them and then reheated them for dessert one day). I’ve always loved the combination of honey and lemon and since ginger is just about good with anything, it gives the muffins a nice subtle kick. The glaze is quite literally the icing on the cake, deepening the lemon flavor and sweetening the muffins just a bit more.
