Oh how I love breakfast!! After all, isn’t it the most important meal of the day?!? School mornings are a little crazy at our house and breakfast is, most mornings, just a bowl of cereal. Every now and then I will make something special and these muffins are always a hit! (Actually my husband raves about them more than the kids.)
