Monday morning muffins

Mondays can be so... mundane. They are just so hard to face, aren't they? Whether it's a new work week or school week, it is tough to go from weekend to Monday! That's why I like to plan Monday Morning Muffins.  The family loves to wake up to the smell of something baking. (They love to wake up to it more than I enjoy waking up EARLY to do the baking). It can be so motivating to get up and get ready if you know there is a special breakfast waiting for you. So tomorrow it's blueberry muffins, fresh from the oven, to start off the week.  Sometimes I take the leftovers in to work to spread the Monday Morning Muffin joy! Don't get impressed-- these muffins are going to be from a box. (Duncan Hines Blueberry with streusel topping). The box is sitting out next to the oven, with the muffin pan, measuring cup and everything ready to go-- so I have to do minimal thinking when I am groggy and up early on a Monday morning. But then I can enjoy a Monday morning muffin... with a BIG cup of coffee!

  1. My kids aren't cereal eaters (something traumatic must have happened to them as babies!) so I love this idea...other than the get up early to make them part. I wonder if you could mix them the night before and keep them in the refrigerator, then just bake them in the morning...
