Back to school season is officially here, which means many of us are preparing for the whirlwind that is getting our kids up and out the door on early weekday mornings.
Breakfast can be a scramble during the bustle of a busy school week, but these mini muffins make morning meals easy and effortless!
Bite-size muffins, customized with flavors your family enjoys, can be stored in the fridge all week and enjoyed cold, or microwaved in a flash for a warm fluffy treat. My family likes chocolate chip and blueberry and I think yours will too!
