Breakfast Muffins

Muffins are one of favorites to enjoy with my morning coffee, especially when they have fruit and nuts in them. These Breakfast Muffins come together in just about 30 minutes and are sure to be a favorite at your house, too. 

Breakfast Muffins with dates, raisins and pecans

 I added cereal into the batter and sprinkled it on top for the most delicious crunchy muffin top (I may or may have not snacked on a few grain-packed handfuls as well!).

They are a delicious flavor combination with the sweet dates and raisins, and I love the crunch from the pecans. Serve them up with a side of fruit and a glass of milk for a complete breakfast.

Breakfast muffins also make a great snack after your morning walk or with that afternoon cup of tea or coffee. I find myself needing a little pick-me-up every day about 3:00. How about you?

  1. I have a box of “great grain–crunchy pecan” can I use the recipe suggested? or do you have another recipe available. Also when you mentioned the cereal used in your recipe, what do you mean by cereal, divided- is some cereal used for muffin and some for the topping(need quanity for each).,thanks for your help, in advance.

  2. Hi my name is Howard and I made these last night. Made 11 of them.
    What I did was use 2 great grain cereals. Raisn/date and banana crunchy.
    Excellent muffins. I have one question of the ingredients which puzzles me.
    THis below:
    2 1/4 cups Post® Great Grains® Raisins, Dates & Pecans™, Divided use
    is this an unfinished sentence? From your finished muffins, it looks you took a handful of cereal and put on top of batter before you put in oven. Thank you 🙂

    1. Hi Howard,
      I am glad you enjoyed the muffins and I bet they were tasty with the banana flavors. I updated the card to use 1 1/2 cups of cereal in the muffins and the remaining to sprinkle over the muffins before baking. I hope that helps.
