Back to School // Cereal Breakfast Muffins

cerealmuffins1

Back to School season will be here before we know it, so I’ve been trying to get some breakfast ideas together for Jayden. We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Starting the day with a nutritious meal as it provides our children with energy for a busy day of learning.

When getting ready in the morning, we don’t spend a lot of time on breakfast. We usually shuffle about the house pretty quickly. I suppose we could wake up earlier, but we cherish every.single.wink of sleep ’round these parts. So the best breakfast’s for our household are quick and easy. Muffins are a great choice for families like ours racing against the clock before school. They’re easy to grab and eat before the bus arrives or on the way to school.

Today, I want to share a simple and delicious cereal muffin recipe that will be getting us through the school year. I was challenged by Walmart to create a recipe using the three ingredients below and these muffins were a piece of cake *giggle*. The star ingredients in this recipe are Quaker Life Cereal Original, Post Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds, and Silk Almond Milk. Speaking of milk, we love love love Silk Almond Milk. The Vanilla flavor gives me so much life. I use it in everything. These muffins are no exception.
