Mornings as a mama are a whirlwind—getting the kids dressed, packing lunches, and making sure everyone is out the door on time. The easy muffin recipes in this round up will help make the hard a little easier! They will reduce a little bit of the chaos and rush of mornings before school!
But the beauty of muffins doesn't stop there. If you put muffins in a breakfast box in your mind, you are not taking full advantage of one of the best Crazy Busy Mama tricks in the playbook! Let's be real. KIDS LOVE MUFFINS. I have always thought that might have something to do with the fact that it feels like they are getting to have a cupcake without there being a special occasion. And no matter how you slice it that is just fun!
But it's time for mamas to love muffins too! There is just something so perfect about muffins for a Crazy Busy Mama. Perhaps it is how easy they are for a grab-and-go breakfast. Or maybe it is the fact that they can meet so many different needs;
✔️ breakfast
✔️ afternoon snack
✔️ dessert
✔️ dinner side
✔️bedtime snack
You name the need and we have a muffin recipe that will perfectly meet it!
Do you ever find yourself stuck in the chaos of motherhood thinking “something has got to give!!” Well here it is! Just whip up some muffins on Sunday after church and you will be set for the rest of the week! Double the recipe and you will have breakfast and an after school snack done for the entire week! (might need to triple if you have teenage boys like me 🤣)
I know what you are thinking, muffins are great but they have a few downsides. First, they are messy to make and I don't feel like cleaning batter off of my cabinets (how does it always get there? I'll never know). Next you have to grease 47 mini muffin spots in the muffin tin, and lastly my kids need protein! Well just let me stop you right there. I have the answer for each of those “cons”
If you are worried about the mess of filling muffin tins with a scoop, get this! It is a game changer for muffin and pancake batter! I got mine from Amazon, and it makes these muffins a breeze!
If you don't want to have to grease the pan or get out the muffins individually, get these! Once the muffins are done, you can just flip the entire tin over on some parchment paper and the muffins will fall out! It is so easy!
If you want your kiddos to have more protein packed snacks, you can easily add protein powder (or a shake) to each of these recipes! The extra protein will keep their tummies happy and feeling like a super hero ready to take on the day!
Trust me, you don't want to write off muffins for any of those reasons! All of these muffin recipes come together in minutes—because let’s be real, you don’t have time for complicated. Whether you’re baking ahead for the week or whipping up a quick batch while juggling a million other things, these muffins will be your new best friend.
