Not just muffins from a box…

Have you ever had or are having a little breakfast crisis? All of the sudden you have guest and weren’t prepared. No matter what the reason is you are in need of some breakfast items and fast. Did you happen to notice a mix for blueberry muffins tucked away in the pantry? Then you can sigh a little relief because I have the cure all for that little ole box of blueberry muffins. We can take that little box and whip it up into a little creation of your own. Your muffins will pair nicely with any type of sliced fruit you have on hand add a fresh pot of coffee to the mix and breakfast has been saved!

A few ways to make that average box of blueberry muffins seem anything but ordinary:

• Add mashed banana into batter
• Add chopped dried cherries
• Add fresh blueberries
• Mix in juice and zest of an orange
• Add poppy seeds and lemon extract
• Make a streusel topping
  • 1 T. butter, softened
  • 2 T. oatmeal
  • 1 T. brown sugar
  • 1 T. nuts, chopped
  • Mix together and sprinkle onto top of unbaked muffins
• Top muffins with a glaze
  • ½ c. powdered sugar
  • 2 T. milk
