Even though I’ve been getting up earlier, like 5:30 am, I’m still not a morning person. My husband was convinced that I’d grow to love it but after 2 months, I’m no closer to enjoying it than I was when it started. It’s just not for me.

That makes school mornings that much harder for me. One of the greatest days for me was when all of my kiddos could make their own breakfasts without any help from me. Unfortunately, over the summer I got super lax and it was pretty much cold Pot Tarts every day. I wanted to make sure that they had something a little more substantial for school mornings, especially since it is my baby’s first year.

These delicious breakfast muffins are the perfect easy breakfast for my kiddos that require little to no effort on my part. Score! Now we can focus on getting out the door on time with everything we need instead of worrying about meals!

These mini strawberry pancake muffins are a delicious poppable breakfast that’s perfect for busy school morning! My kids like them with an additional drizzle of syrup and sprinkled with powdered sugar but of course kiddos are always about more sugar. I, on the other hand, think they’re totally great without anything extra. Whip up a double batch and have easy hot breakfasts for 2 or more weeks. Not bad for 30 minutes of work.
