I’m usually a healthy breakfast kind of girl, but during these strange times I’ve noticed that I’m craving for something more comforting. Also, I hate throwing food away and I want to use all the leftovers for something new. And that’s how this recipe was created. It was inspired by some old granola I had in my kitchen. It wasn’t bad but just pretty tasteless and I didn’t want to add it on top of my morning yoghurt anymore. So I baked some breakfast muffins with it! These muffins aren’t too sweet, but to add something more, I topped them with caramel (I had that readymade in my kitchen too). But you don’t need caramel to make these, you can finish them with powdered sugar and cream cheese icing or even with jam! Whatever you already have in your kitchen!
