I hated breakfast as a kid. I remember my dad had to add sausage and about a pound of cheese for me to eat my eggs or add ice cream to my morning smoothie. I don’t know what it was, but I just never liked breakfast! So instead of fighting, he would give me a warm chocolate chip muffin and a large glass of milk. Now, I LOVE everything about breakfast, but I can’t help but crave an indulgent breakfast every now and then. Unlike the processed muffins from way back when, these are homemade moist chocolate muffins with creamy yogurt and tart blueberries. I recommend you make them mini muffins so that your kids enjoy popping them back as a snack or on their way to school. They are super easy to make and you can freeze a large batch and pull out the night before for a no hassle back to school treat!
But don’t let breakfast stop you from making them for other occasions! Mini muffins make great bring-along treats to dinner parties, brunch, or even a friends birthday. Your kids can even wrap a few up in cellophane with a bow and give to their teachers as a back to school gift.
