My kids love muffins. Breakfast, snack, lunch - anytime. I pulled some out of the oven this morning at 6:45 am, and now at 8:15 there are already 5 gone! 

I rarely have the creative juices first thing in the morning to make muffins from scratch, so I cheat.

How? Well, here's what I do.

I buy the instant oatmeal muffins and follow the directions on the package (usually add some water and maybe an egg then mix together). Add 2 mashed up ripe bananas and about ½ cup of chocolate chips. I also add in a tbsp of Cinnamon-Vanilla Simple Indugences seasoning. Mix everything up, put into muffin tins lined with the paper wrappers and cook for the time on the package (like 19 mins at 400F).

The kids love them, I love them and I love the fact that they are fast and easy to make.

Some ideas:

*serve with some fresh fruit*

*cut in half and make it a peanut butter sandwich muffin*

Enjoy! I am!
