Making Time for a Healthy Whole Grain Breakfast

Breakfast Time
Carving time out of hectic mornings is probably the most challenging part of having a good family breakfast. As with anything worthwhile, making the time is simply a matter of planning and organizing.
In the evening, have everyone put the things they will need the next day in a designated place. Having book bags, musical instruments, ballet shoes and sports equipment ready to go will save time by eliminating those last minute searches.
- Encourage everyone to pick out what they're going to wear the next day.
- Prepare, or partially prepare, lunches the night before.
- Keep on hand a variety of nutritious, easy-to-prepare breakfast foods like cereals, fruits, juices, yogurt and whole grain muffin mixes, so everyone can find something they like.
- All you need to have warm satisfying whole grain muffins is a package of mix and milk. It will save a little time to set out the equipment the night before. A bowl, measuring cup, wooden spoon and a muffin pan is all it takes to have hot muffins in minutes.
Martha White whole grain muffins are delicious made by the package directions, but are also good starters for other great breakfast recipes. CranApple Crunch Muffins made with Whole Grain Apple Cinnamon Muffin Mix are bakery-style muffins with dried cranberries and walnuts in the batter and sprinkled with a crunchy oatmeal topping. It is also easy to transform the Whole Grain Banana Nut Muffin Mix into pancakes. Banana Berry Pancakes filled with low-fat yogurt and berries will wake up even the sleepiest appetites. And our Spicy Applesauce Skillet Cake is easy to stir up and fun to serve nice and warm from a cast iron skillet.
