Confession Time.
Skipping breakfast is one of my bad habits. There, I said it.
Here is my struggle. I get up in time to eat but my stomach just doesn’t feel ready and by the time it does I am hurrying out the door and looking for the most convenient thing to grab. But since I know the benefits of eating a good breakfast I have worked to break this bed habit and today I’m sharing my newest favorite!
Breakfast Muffins in a jar!
A grab and go breakfast that will keep you satisfied until lunch time and always excited to break-fast for breakfast. Making up a batch of these yummy muffins on a Sunday evening will have you set for a whole week of flavorful morning meals. And there is a bonus! They are great for gifting, sending off with your on the go family members and can even be easily changed into a great desert item with just a little tweaking.

Easy to make-ahead muffins that allow you to grab-and-go! Vary them according to taste or season by switching up mixes (banana, pumpkin, streusel)!
|
- 1 Banana Muffin Mix
- 1 Cup Uncooked Oats
- 1/4 Cup Milk
- 1 36 oz container Greek Yogurt
- 3 Bananas (Ripened and sliced.)
- 1 tsp Cinnamon
- Toasted Walnuts
- Lightly grease twelve 1/2 pint mason jars.
- Blend muffin mix, oats and milk. Fill mason jars with a 1/4 cup of the mixture.
- Bake in a water bath at 400 degrees for 15 minutes or until an inserted toothpick removes clean. Cool on a cooling rack before topping.
- Mix topping ingredients: yogurt, cinnamon, banana slices.
- Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of topping onto cool muffins and then sprinkle with toasted walnuts. May store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. (Consistency of muffin will become like bread pudding.)
The obvious DoAhead is that these tasty muffins will last up to five days! They are a great treat to make on the weekend and than have enough on hand for the busy week ahead! Variations of this recipe would be to use a different muffin flavor...pumpkin would be perfect this time of year.
Toppings can also vary-fruit, granola or nuts. Of course, you can top with whipped cream and crushed candy bars if you want to shift this from a morning to an evening treat!
It’s definitely time for me to try a blueberry version!
Yessss! Blueberries…a favorite in our home!
These sound so satisfying! Love the topping too!
I think I would have a hard time not eating the topping before it even made it to the muffins! 🙂
Just pinned this recipe. Love the idea of a muffin with a delicious topping. Very creative! Thanks, Jodie!
Wouldn’t these be the bomb for when you have overnight guests?!
Yep! Thanks for the idea! It takes a lot of minds!
