Sleepover Breakfast Muffins
These muffins are amazing and so full of wonderful, rich flavor! Are you wondering how they got their name? Well, having all girls, we have quite a few sleepovers at our house and they all LOVE to eat. These were always my oldest daughter’s favorite. She asked me to make them for her friends a few years ago. They were such a hit, they continue to be the most requested sleepover breakfast. So, I thought it would only be fitting, to call them by exactly what they are….Sleepover Breakfast Muffins.
I love fall spices and scents. Pumpkin pie spice, cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon, will take you to a “happy place” just by smelling them! As these muffins bake, the aroma will make you feel all warm and cozy inside; anytime of the year! I have experimented with different flours to make these amazing muffins. Spelt flour and Bob’s Redmill Gluten Free 1 to 1 flour worked the best for me. Add a cup of coffee, a blanket, and this muffin to your breakfast and you will be set up for a perfect day! Enjoy!
