Fall has arrived!!  There’s a cool breeze in the air, the leaves are changing colors, football season has begun, and the kids are back in school.  If you’re like me then you’re always on the hunt for quick, delicious, and nutritious breakfast ideas…preferably those on the go!  That’s why I love these It’s Fall Y’all Muffins…there’s a taste of fall in every bite and Little Man LOVES them….not to mention they’re packed full of nutritious ingredients!  Did you know that September is Better Breakfast Month?

I love mixing peanut butter into breakfast recipes because it’s a good source of fiber, good for you fats, 8 grams of protein and more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients.  By adding a strong protein like peanut butter to our breakfast meal Little Man feels fuller longer and has enough energy to last him through til lunch!

Did you know that according to the National Peanut Board just one 12oz jar of peanut butter contains 540 peanuts….and the largest peanut butter factory churns out 250,000 jars a day?!  That’s because 90% of Americans have at least one jar in their pantry at all times…making it a quick and simple ingredient that many people already have on hand.  It’s really good spread on a bagel or waffle instead of using syrup or cream cheese….and so much more nutritious…give it a try!  You can find a whole bunch of recipes using Peanut Butter for Breakfast!

Alright, back to these yummy It’s Fall Y’all Muffins….these muffins are dense, hearty, and packed full of flavor!  Little Man likes to get in on the action of helping to make them…you know me, I love coming up with ideas to get cooking with kids.

Cooking with kids can be so rewarding!  It’s a great learning and bonding experience but it’s also a great self esteem builder.  The pride that Little Man has when he’s helped make something the kitchen can be seen all over his face and is priceless!  He beams from ear to ear when trying his latest recipe and loves having other people try it with him.  At only 2 1/2 he’s become quite the little helper in the kitchen and it makes me so proud.

When cooking with kids it’s important to keep the tasks age appropriate.  I’ll usually measure out the ingredients and let Little Man pour them in.  Then he can use the whisk to mix the ingredients together before we start the mixer….which he knows he can only watch…not touch….but he LOVES watching it go “faster and faster mommy!”.

So, ready for the recipe?  And don’t forget….at the end of this article is a chance to enter to win a NPB Prize Pack including a $25 Walmart Gift Card, a coupon for a free jar of peanut butter, and a bag of peanuts!
