The Quaker Oatmeal Muffin mix will take anything at all - like on this entire planet -added to it and it will come out a decent muffin. No recipes, no worry about measuring or having the exact ingredients in the cupboard, just throw stuff in and make em awesome.
The magnitude of this is the equivalent to when I got my vitamix and realized I could get my kids to eat kale in a smoothie. I'll state it clearly for you. Kids will eat anything in a chocolate chip muffin. I mean. Of course they will. Chocolate chips!
I keep a bin in the car for the drive to gymnastics, and put them in lunches, nothing for breakfast? Perfect.ive got muffins.
The best part is that as long as I have a couple eggs, and muffin mix I can have something hot, filling and relatively healthy in minutes. Granted they are not gluten free, or dairy free, and the mix may not be as organic, or clean as I would like. But this is my compromise, and in our busy house, I'm cool with compromise.
Things I have been adding recently:
Pumpkin purée
Pumpkin pie spice mix
Raisins
Chocolate chips
Flax seeds
Extra eggs(I almost always add 3-4 eggs-I like them eggy)
A couple handfuls of oats
Hemp seeds
Grated zucchini
Grated carrot
Currants
Cooked quinoa
And the show stopper???
Chopped crabapples.
These are spectacular. I didn't peel or core them. Just washed, removed stems and cut into eight pieces. Seriously. The crabapples are soooooooo good in these.
Anyways, now you know my secret.
Let me know if you come up with anymore ideas!
