The first question we ask the kids every morning – “What would you like for breakfast?”  Honestly, I am not sure why I even ask because I know what they will both say!  Jude and Teagan have a love for muffins; any kind of muffins but their very favorite is those really sugary store bought mini muffins.  Yes, those.  Well let’s be real, I do let them eat those some mornings but other mornings those kids need some whole some grains and nutrients!  That means I have to get creative with my hidden nutrients and trick those kids!  Guess what – you can totally trick a toddler into eating nutrient heavy breakfasts if you make your own muffins!!  With the help of Quaker® Life Cereal and Quaker® Oats I have made a couple different flavors of muffins that freeze wonderfully and can be heated up quickly in the morning for quick breakfasts!   One Jude’s favorite muffin is this Cinnamon Apple Life Cereal Muffin.

To make these better for you muffins make sure you stop by Walmart, all of these ingredients can be found there.  We love Quaker® Life Cereal in our house, not only does the Life Cereal make these muffins delicious but we all enjoy Quaker® Life Cereal for snacks.  In fact, that is what Teagan calls them.  When she asks for snacks we know that she wants some Life Cereal.  Yum!  Such an easy and portable snack for both of our kiddos.  

Our pantry is packed full of Quaker® products that are perfect for this baking season but also for better for you snacks and recipes.  I love using Quaker® Real Medleys®, Quaker® Oatmeal Squares, Quaker® Simply Granola and Quaker® Life in our recipes and snacks.  I will also confess that I might have a box of Quaker Oatmeal Squares in my desk drawer at work!  YUM!

    I love oatmeal, especially steel cut from Quaker. These muffins do look so good and I will have to make them for a special breakfast.

    And here I thought that muffins were a dessert and not a breakfast? 🙂 Love the recipe idea and the combo of ingredients – I'd love a bit of one of them!

    I have always wanted to try the cereal muffins like these! I will have to break down and do it one day. They look so much more simple than I thought they would be.
