Breakfast Muffins
Breakfast Muffins are a real morning treat, packed with plenty of grains, raisins, dates and pecans. A great breakfast to enjoy with a cup of coffee or ice cold milk.
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.
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?
How to Make Breakfast Muffins:
- Add flour, Post Great Grains Raisins, Dates & Pecans cereal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to a mixing bowl and whisk together.
- In a separate bowl, combine milk, eggs, and oil together until well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and stir together until just combined, batter may have a few lumps and that is fine.
- Scoop into lined or greased muffin cups.
- Bake at 375 degrees for 22-25 minutes.

How to Store Muffins:
Place muffins in a zip top bag and store at room temperature for up to three days. You can freeze muffins by placing them in a single layer of a zip top freezer bag for up to 3 months.
Frozen muffins can be covered in foil and reheated for about 15 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

We make these Easy Banana Muffins at least once a week. They are so simple to make in one bowl with no mixer required.
I love these make ahead Freezer Breakfast Croissant Sandwiches for an easy breakfast. Easy Belgian Waffles are always a favorite and if you are looking for a decadent weekend treat, Chocolate Gravy is incredibly delicious.
Breakfast Muffins would be perfect to bake and share or for a weekend brunch with family and friends. I love having something like a delicious breakfast muffin on hand when friends stop by for coffee.

That’s delicious!
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.
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 🙂
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.
