My boys love breakfast. It’s their favorite meal of the day. They don’t seem to tire of cereal but a mom can only allow so many bowls of it.
Making sure they get a healthy breakfast before rushing out the door to school isn’t always an easy task.
I’m finding these unique muffin ideas work perfectly to achieve a healthy start each morning. I especially like those sneaky veggie and zucchini muffins, and the funfetti muffins would be great for a boy’s birthday breakfast.
Don’t miss the rest of these tasty recipes either; they all have something special to offer. Your whole family will benefit from a healthy, tasty beginning to the day. Good morning, Sunshine!
