I got the idea to put blueberries on my toast at my sister’s house. Loving this little combo before a workout! These muffins are coming to a blog post soon, but they were great in bowl form! You know me – I like to eat things in weird ways. So it was totally normal for me to eat muffins in a bowl with toppings. Each bite lasted longer. I prefer eating with utensils anyways. And to complete the variety of breakfasts – eggs, toast, clemen
