Strawberry Muffins

My kids had been hinting that I hadn’t made muffins “in forever”, and muffins are their “favorite breakfast food ever!” so while they were away last weekend I took the opportunity to make a batch of muffins as a welcome home surprise.  They were so surprised, and so grateful.  They absolutely loved them.  Out of the dozen, I got one, and I think my husband got one… the rest went into the bellies of my kiddos.  These are awesome fresh out of the oven smeared with a little butter.  I meant to split one open and grill it in some butter, but they didn’t last long enough for that!  They were a huge hit for breakfasts, lunches, snacks and dessert!

1-3/4 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup yogurt, I used some strawberry yogurt that I had in the fridge.
1/4 cup melted and cooled butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups chopped frozen strawberries, thawed

To Make~
In a small bowl, combine the first four ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, butter and vanilla. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in strawberries.

Fill muffin cups coated with cooking spray or lined with paper liners two-thirds full. Bake at 375° for 15-18 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.

Makes 1 dozen.

Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Is there anything better for breakfast on a cold morning than a nice piping hot stack of pancakes?  I mean, really?  Well, maybe if it’s a piping hot stack of chocolate chip pancakes.  The kidlets were thrilled!  Chocolate chips IN their breakfast!  I was the best mommy around… up until I asked them to clean their rooms!
