We’ve had some struggles with breakfast lately. I think everyone is either simply worn out and ready for summer to begin or just tired of the same old same old every morning.
One thing for sure is that we’ve been in a bit of a breakfast rut. Not exactly the best way to start the day with everyone is trying to get out the door to school. Our breakfast needed a bit of a makeover, so I turned to a family favorite recipe.
This is a wonderful go-to base muffin recipe that uses simple ingredients and tastes delicious with any of your favorite mix-ins.
Today, I decided to change things up and add some fun and fruity cereal – Fruity Pebbles. Fruity Pebbles are a kid favorite and the perfect addition to one of our family favorite muffin recipes. (we also adore these Fruity Pebbles Cookie Cheesecake Bars)
The bright and fun colors from the Fruity Pebbles, might even make your kids forget that they are actually having a healthy breakfast! They will beg for this special treat!
These Fruity Pebble Breakfast Muffins are not overly sweet. They are made with a blend of old-fashioned oats and white whole wheat flour, and they’re perfectly spiced with a hint of cinnamon.
The Fruity Pebbles are mixed throughout the batter, and then sprinkled on top before placing in the oven. The result is a fun, colorful, and nutritious breakfast muffin that make both Mom and kids happy.
How to make Fruity Pebbles Breakfast Muffins
I love this recipe because it’s so flexible. If you don’t have coconut oil on hand, you can use canola oil or even melted butter. I’ve used butter on occasion and the muffins turn out just as wonderful.
If you don’t have buttermilk, you can sour your own milk.
How do you sour your own milk?
It’s actually really easy. Measure out 2 cups of milk, remove 4 Tablespoons, add 4 Tablespoons of white vinegar, stir, and then let the milk sit for about 10 minutes until you start to see it curdle. Wha-la…soured milk!
The recipe makes about A LOT of muffins…about 24 of them. I like to keep some in an air-tight container and then wrap and freeze the rest. They freeze very well.
So that’s it! Easy, right? Whether you need an easy, quick breakfast for those busy school mornings, or a great snack for the kids in the afternoon after school, these Fruity Pebble Breakfast Muffins will hit the spot!
