Mountains of Muffins!

I decided to do some baking today! I made 3 different kinds of organic muffins for the children and I for snacks and quick breakfasts. I keep a few out for the week and then freeze the rest. They freeze beautifully and its so easy to just take one or a few out to thaw the night before you need them.
I use organic whole sprouted grains which I get from here, pre-milled. http://www.organicsproutedflour.net/  If you would like to know more about sprouted grains and their benefits click HERE

NOTE: These recipes all originally called for honey as the sweetener except for the chocolate oatmeal ones which called for maple syrup.  I chose to use agave or coconut nectar as a substitute since honey is deemed unsafe for those under 1 year of age and I wanted to be able to feed these to my 11 month old son.
