Need a new idea for breakfast?

I always liked to give my kids something warm to eat for breakfast, but certainly didn’t have lots of time (especially on a “school day” morning) to fix anything time consuming. So, muffins have been a great option for our family. I mix up a double batch of muffin mix and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Then each morning, I just spray my muffin tins and pop them in the oven. In minutes the house smells like freshly baked muffins,and I have a warm and simple breakfast to feed my kids. Add a little yogurt or glass of milk and an orange or banana and breakfast is ready. Another plus is that it keeps well, too, if you have little ones who may sleep later than the older kids. It’s ready and waiting for them when they arise.

I’ve collected LOTS of muffin recipes we’ve grown to love over the years, but here is a favorite:
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

  • 1 1/2 c. whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 c. ground oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 c. peanut butter
  • 1/2 c. butter or margarine
  • 1/4 c. sugar
  • 1/4 c. brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 c. sour milk*
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • approximately 1 c. chocolate chips

*Note: To make milk sour for baking add 1 Tbsp. vinegar for each cup of milk used.

Mix together peanut butter, butter, and sugars until smooth. Beat in eggs. Add sour milk and vanilla and beat until smooth. Add flour, ground oats, baking powder, soda, and salt. Mix in chocolate chips with a spoon.
Bake Muffins in a greased muffin tin at 375° for 13 to 15 minutes. Makes 24 muffins. Or, bake as loaves in 2 greased loaf pans at 350° for 40 to 45 minutes. Makes 2 loaves of bread.
