Some days just call for a grab-n-go breakfast. These Granola Breakfast Muffins were super easy to make, jammed packed with healthy goodness, and really quite yummy to eat with one hand.
TIP: I use an ice cream scooper to scoop cake and muffin batter from mixing bowl into pans.
Not only are these granola breakfast muffins a great way to start your day (I love them) – they are also a super easy addition to the school lunch box!
- 2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 cup wheat bran (or you could crush bran flakes)
- 1 tsp ground flax
- 1 container of vanilla yogurt (individual serving size)
- 2 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1/4 oil
- Granola to top each muffin (I used Harvest Crunch Granola)
- Preheat oven to 350C
- In mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, bran flakes, and flax. Mix well.
- Add in yogurt, eggs, milk, oil. Combine and mix so as there are no lumps.
- Using an ice cream scooper – scoop out mixture into muffin pan (use paper muffin liners or silicone liners).
- Sprinkle granola on top of each muffin (to taste).
- Bake 20 minutes at 350C. Take out and cool on wire rack.
- Makes 12 Granola Breakfast Muffins.
At our house, baking is a kid activity (great boredom buster too). Oh the bliss in measuring, pouring, and stirring! Just today my toddler pulled the step stool up to the counter and asked “what are we going to make today?”. If your kids love baking too – I recommend my recipe for Easy Applesauce Muffins and my Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Recipe – both super easy and very kid-friendly.
As for my Granola Breakfast Muffins – they were a huge hit (and there are none left!).
Those sound very tasty, I haven’t made muffins for a bit, I bet these would be a hit.
I make muffins all the time – and these were really good. Moist on the inside and a bit of crunch at the top.
I love muffins and these sound very good! Thanks for the recipe!
I’ve been using these muffins as a mid-morning snack to my son (who doesn’t like to eat breakfast) – I love that they have lots of fibre for him.
great idea! I have some harvest crunch cereal left over this will be a nice treat for my kids.
The harvest crunch didn’t go soggy at all while baking. It had a nice little crunch on the top.
I love grab and go when things are rushed thanks for the post
Instead of going for cookies (as unfortunately I sometimes do) in the afternoons – I’ve grabbed one of these granola muffins instead. Perfect solution to the afternoon munchies.
This recipe sounds great and I just happen to have some Harvest Crunch granola right now so I will have to bake a batch up!
try it try it try it – these granola muffins were so yummy!
Will definitely try these
mmmmm this looks good. i have no idea what wheat bran is though…can you tell me any particular brands to look for and where i can buy this from?
Yummy and good for you!
Made these this morning well worth the effort
I often skip making breakfast and I know it’s a horrible habit. This would be a great morning muffin to get my day started. Thanks!
I love granola so these sound extra-yummy to me!
I am always looking for recipes that are quick and reasonably healthy compared to more prepared foods. These look really good and I think I will have to try them!
I would love to make these muffins for my boys for breakfast!
I have to rush like a mad women in the morning, this would be a quick breakfast.
