Why We Love Muffins for Breakfast?
As early as we get up at our house, I feel like we should accomplish a lot more in the morning. The trouble is, there are two sides of getting up before the sun. On the one hand, you should have plenty of time to cook, clean, read, exercise, or do whatever else you’d like to get done. On the other hand, you’re too tired to do much of anything. At least you are if you are me because I stay up too late even though I know my boys (and now the cat too!) will make me drag myself out of bed before 6 am.
One thing that can snap me out of my bleary, grumpy state (besides coffee) is baking some muffins. I love muffin recipes that are quick and easy enough to make even if I am short on sleep or time. Once I preheat the oven and start stirring together a simple dough, I’m actually happy to be up and getting my day started. I know this dozen of easy muffins will make you happy too!

So many delicious recipes, which to choose first!
Thank you, Lilli! I was going to make the gingerbread ones this morning, but I seem to be out of molasses. I need to get some tomorrow and try again!
What an awesome roundup, Andi! Love muffins – especially if they are easy to whip up since we are early risers too! Can’t wait to try some of these, they look delicious!
Thanks, Kelly! I just made muffins this morning, but they weren’t on this list! I need to make my way through these recipes ASAP.
Yay! I made the muffin roundup! Thanks for the feature. :)
Oops posted too soon. I’m going to have to try your version of pumpkin muffins. The caramel glaze is calling my name.
Thank you, but it can’t beat two ingredients! I don’t think I can find gluten-free mix, but I hope everyone else tries your awesome recipe!!
Sorry, Stephanie. I thought I already replied to this! I was very happy to include your muffins. You can’t beat two ingredients! That’s a great recipe :)
You did reply, I just replied to my own comment and then you replied to that one instead of this one, so I tricked your missing reply plugin. :) I have successfully made these muffins with Betty Crocker’s GF devil’s food mix, their GF yellow cake mix, and a GF Bob’s Red Mill mix, so you should totally try making them! Just add the can of pumpkin and bake a little hotter and a little longer.
Oh right, I remember! Now I’m sorry for repeating myself ;) Thanks for letting me know about using the GF cake mix. I’m going to give it a try!
Thanks for featuring my muffins! I’m like you – I love making muffins for breakfast because they are so quick and easy. What a great way to start the morning! I have my eye on your pumpkin muffins – they look amazing!
Those muffins look so delicious, Cate. I want to try them soon!
