Simple sweets for a festive breakfast
With what feels like no time between Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, I'm doing my best to enjoy the holiday season instead of adding to my To Do list. So this week, with Christmas present in mind, I'll share some of my favorite recipes of Christmases past — both to give myself more time for living in the moment and to give you some simple favorites that are as yummy as they are time friendly.
Let's start with the most important meal of the day: Breakfast. At my house for holiday breakfasts, there are always muffins. We Lawlers love us some sweet stuff. Luckily, these two muffin recipes are so easy you could make them Christmas morning in no-time.
#1 Cinnamon sugar muffins
These are the ones my mom asks for every Christmas. It never fails! Yep, I'm making them this year, too. I'll probably make them on Christmas Eve and warm them in the microwave Christmas morning.
#2 Pecan pie muffins
To me, any baked good that doesn't require a mixer gets the "easy" stamp of approval — it just feels like less work. These muffins fit the bill and the holiday flavor scene. Tis the season for pecan pie!
*Note: The pecan pie muffins might harden up if you make them the day before serving, but don't be alarmed — they still taste awesome! For soft muffins, bake them the day of. Time-saving trick: Measure all of the ingredients on Christmas Eve to cut back on the morning mess.
