Do your kids ever go through phases of absolutely loving then completely despising certain foods?

Yep mine too! The latest one is Weetabix. For a few months both my kids were eating it like it was going out of fashion.

But now they're turning their noses up at it.... food overload I think!

In an effort to use up some of the boxes of Weetabix that we still have, I decided to try to make some muffins.

A quick google search of Weetabix recipes came up with these Banana Weetabix Muffins from Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary.

Inspired by this recipe I decided to try something similar with ingredients that I already had at home.

Why Breakfast Muffins Are So Great

Muffins are always a great option for breakfast as you can make them in advance and either keep for a couple of days in the fridge or freeze for longer.

On busy mid-week days, simply defrost in the fridge overnight and either eat cold or warm a little in the microwave.

They're are also a great grab-and-go breakfast option for teenagers who rush out the door in the morning.

Put a couple of these in their bag and you know they've at least had a filling and healthy breakfast.

Weetabix Muffin Recipe

My recipe for Weetabix Muffins is really easy and uses some of my most used store cupboard and fridge ingredients:

Weetabix - adds fibre and structure to the muffins.
Wholemeal Flour
Baking Powder
Butter
Egg - helps to bind the muffins.
Milk - keeps them soft and moist.
Honey - to add some sweetness without having to use refined sugar.
And fresh fruit in the form of blueberries and lemon - adds a fresh flavour.

Step 1: Add the weetabix to a large mixing bowl and crush with your hands.

Step 2: Add the flour and baking powder and mix well.

Step 3: Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients along with the egg, milk and honey and mix everything well.

Step 4: Fold in the blueberries and lemon zest.

The Weetabix is crushed by hand into a large bowl and mixed with the flour and baking powder.

Coconut oil is then melted in a large jug and to that you add the egg, milk and honey.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and then stir in the blueberries and lemon zest.

The muffins are baked in the oven for just over 20 minutes and are then ready to eat straight away or cooled and stored in the fridge or freezer.

What To Serve With These Muffins

For breakfast I serve these muffins with a portion of yogurt and a selection of fresh fruit.

Weetabix is fortified with iron so think about adding a source of Vitamin C to your child's breakfast as that will aid it's absorption.

Ingredient Substitutions & Variations

Flour - The wholemeal flour can be substituted for plain flour and any type of gluten free flour too.

Butter - This can be substituted for coconut oil

Milk - Any non-dairy milk will work fine.

Egg - I haven't tried using an egg replacer in this recipe so can't say that it would definitely work. However if you try it please do let me know.

Blueberries - Feel free to use strawberries, raspberries etc instead

Can I swap out the blueberries for another type of fruit?

Absolutely. Try strawberries or or raspberries.
