Simplify your morning breakfast routine with these delicious make ahead muffin recipes.
While on the weekends I love making breakfast, during the week I need things as simple as possible, which is where a good muffin recipe comes in handy.
I love a good make ahead recipe anyway and muffins are basically cake for breakfast, and what’s to hate about that?!
Plus, muffins are a quick and easy way to get the kids fed before school on a busy morning, which is always a huge bonus during the week.
Of course, muffins are also great on the weekends, too and I love serving muffins with my favorite brunch recipes!
Basically, this is a love song written for some of our very best and most delicious muffin recipes all sure to bake the whole family happy!

Nutella Swirl Pumpkin Muffins Recipe
Regardless of the time of year, pumpkin muffins are always a favorite! Especially these ones, which are swirled with sweet, creamy Nutella because nothing is better than pumpkin and chocolate if you ask me. Bonus! These chart topping muffins are also gluten free so they’re a great option if you have a family member who avoids gluten for any reason.
