Many people remember that old saying, “breakfast is the most important meal of the day.” Well that is very true! You want to be sure to eat a filling and healthy breakfast to get your day off to a good start. An excellent choice is granola.

You can easily make your own granola in your conventional or microwave oven. There are many varieties of granola. Granola is something you can make quickly on a weekend afternoon that your entire family can enjoy for the rest of the next week.

Try eating your granola with some yogurt or Greek yogurt for some added calcium. Or chop up a piece of fresh fruit for added fiber.

If you are looking for an easy breakfast to make, consider a batch of muffins. While you’ll need to pre-make these – it is hard to make them the morning you want breakfast – once you have a batch of muffins they are quick and easy for your family to just “grab and go.”

Muffins are delicious and healthy. A popular favorite is the bran muffin. But you can easily add so many other things to your muffin recipe to make it unique. Try adding applesauce or shredded carrot for more fiber and a sweetened taste. Or add some walnuts or sunflower seeds for a little crunch to your muffins. Or add some raisins or dried fruit for something succulent and sweet that everyone will enjoy.

The best thing about muffins is they are a great way to enjoy a healthy breakfast that is very portable. You can grab a muffin and run to work or school or wherever you need to be. As a cook, muffins are ideal because you can add so many different things to them.
