Delicious and filling Berry Breakfast Muffins packed full of healthy ingredients including oats, yogurt, coconut oil, banana and apple sauce.
Breakfast is one of those meals that’s so easy to get stuck in a rut with, making and serving the same things.
I’m very guilty of this myself and on busy morning you will usually find me serving up toast and fruit to the kids as I have nothing else prepared and I’m out of inspiration!
But these delicious Berry Breakfast Muffins are perfect for days like this.
They can be made in advance and served within 24 hours or else frozen to eat later. You can then simply pull them out one at a time and leave to defrost overnight, ready for breakfast in the morning.
These muffins are also great for grab-and-go breakfasts, particularly for busy teenagers who never seem to get up in time to eat something good and nourishing in the morning!
And of course they’re not just for breakfast. My kids eat these as snacks too so they really are super versatile!

Was wondering if coconut oil could be substituted with mct oil?
Bianca Carey Spencer says
Hi Julie, we’ve not tried it using MCT oil so not sure how it would work, but please do let us know how it goes if you do try it!

Went to make these this morning, had all the ingredients, got everything mixed together then, uh-oh parent fail!! No muffin cases! Instead I put it into a loaf tin and cooked for about 7/10 mins longer and voila, breakfast slices for all – fabulous!!
