We’ve had to do some adjusting with breakfast time around our house since school started. This is the first time ever that we’ve needed to worry about having a quick breakfast that allows Isabelle to get out the door quickly.
I’ll admit something I’ve never wanted to admit – 4 out of the 5 school morning breakfasts we’ve had so far have been cold cereal. I hang my head in shame! But, it’s allowed us to adjust to having any schedule in the morning without losing our minds.
I do NOT want to keep relying on the cold cereal breakfasts though. So I’ve decided that I’ll be making muffins once a week, a batch of pancakes or French toast once a week, and the other mornings will be for smoothies, oatmeal or scrambled eggs and toast. The muffins and French toast I’ll make in bulk so that we get a few days worth out of them.
These muffins are a favorite around here. The kids like the chunks of peach and I like the fact that they are nutritious and filling. The muffins have a taste similar to a spice cake that pairs perfectly with the fresh peaches and oats.
