Breakfast is so boring. I have friends and family who think breakfast is the bees knees, but I'd rather have two dinners, or maybe a dessert meal than breakfast. There's just so little variation to breakfast, and because I would rather hit the snooze button an extra two times than take the time to make something elaborate, more often than not my breakfast consists of something I can stick in the toaster and eat in five minutes. Sometimes on the weekends I get ambitious and try to brighten up the rest of my week by prepping something homemade that will spice up my mornings before work. Muffins fit this bill.
For all intents and purposes, muffins are basically breakfast cupcakes. You really can't ever go wrong with cupcakes (especially if they involve chocolate). The basic "Muffins" recipe in the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook is an excellent blank canvas for all sorts of breakfast creativity. Chocolate chips + streusel topping? Now that's nutrition!
