Breakfast is such an important meal for everyone. It’s been more relaxed for us lately due to the quarantine, but when school restarts, it’s going to get crazy in my house. With two kids in two different schools that are miles apart and me rushing to make sure both are on time. Yeah, I can imagine how smooth that is going to be!
I’m armed though. One of my favorite on the go recipes for breakfast are Breakfast Oat Muffins. They’re:
- Healthy
- Delicious
- Great for on the go to school or work
- One batch will last you 1-2 weeks in the fridge
- Easy to make ahead
Yum
I actually first tried this recipe as a morning snack for the girls and quickly realized, these work great for breakfast too. Even when we were in preschool, getting out of the house and making it to school on time was a challenge; the girls want to put on and do everything by themselves. These are perfect for my independent little girls to eat on the way as we rush out of the house.
I love this recipe because you can use the base batter mixture and customize it with any add-ins you want. For this batch, I did a third with chocolate chips (this has to be a standard), a third with cherries, and a third with blueberries. Fresh or frozen blueberries and even nuts are perfect to play around with the extras.
What add-ins will you use?
From my kitchen to yours, I hope your family enjoys this healthy breakfast muffin!
