Breakfast muffin?

After a few days running round after tiny people and making tiny cakes like these:


Life has finally returned back to normal. And I've been thinking about breakfast. With kids its easy to see the effect that their food has on them, the amount of energy they have and their general mood. As adults we often forget this, and sometimes leave our bodies to run on empty after rushing out without breakfast.

Last week I started doing sessions with the Nike training club in Glasgow which are awesome, but after a couple of them my body is aching, which is not normal. As a lot of the sessions are first thing breakfast is key to not being crippled the next day. On Thursday I had my pre session standard of yoghurt, but on Saturday we were out. This is why I hurt (or so I'm telling myself.)

So what I'm currently trying to create is a breakfast muesli muffin, preferably without cups of oil/butter but with yoghurt, fruit and oats. Any suggestions? If not I might go on a bit of a culinary adventure and see how things turn out...

  1. Maybe try using carrot/courgette to make it nice and moist?

    1. That's the kind of route I'm thinking at the moment. From what I've seen kids "hidden vegetable" muffins may actually be the best starting point!
