I have to get 3 kids ready for school, take the dog out, get myself ready and make sure lunches are made before I get myself out the door for work. I need something quick and easy sometimes I can take for a little morning snack or breakfast I can eat on the go. </p><p>These little muffins are exactly the time saving pick-me-up I need first thing in the morning. With ingredients I actually already have at home, they were simple to make and didn't require a special trip to the grocery store. </p><p></p><p><strong>To make these breakfast muffins, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
