With two boys in school, a 2 year old and my commitments we are a busy on the go family.  I need easy breakfast options for my family because this mama isn’t getting up at 5 am to make hot breakfast on school mornings! HA! We do a lot of cereal, and on some mornings when we need even faster we do muffins or granola bars. My kids really like cereal though so I’ve combined cereal and muffins for these tasty and easy Cranberry Almond Crunch Muffins. 

Half muffin, half cereal, all yummy!!! Top the muffins with a bit of extra cereal for a great crunch on top.

Great Grains Cereal is a great way to start any day and starting the day right empowers kids to do great things. Making sure my kids have a great start with great food is important to me. When I set the right tone for the day, everything seems to go smoother.

The Cranberry Almond Crunch cereal is such a fun combination of flavors and textures, it made a great muffin!

It took only about 10 min to make these muffins. After you mix the dry ingredients, you add the milk, egg and oil, then put in the muffin tins.

I crushed up another cup of the cereal and sprinkled it on top of the raw muffin batter.

Has your family tried Great Grains Cereal? We love the crunch part this kind, but they are all really great.
