In a bid for Bubs to have healthier cereal for breakfast I brought a giant family pack box of shredded wheat, unfortunately however he was not at all keen on these. Although they do not make the best tasting breakfast when just mixed with milk, I have found several other uses for them in my baking and the muffins and cookies they make are delicious.
Breakfast for me these days is often quite rushed with juggling getting two kids up, ready, fed and out of the house in time for the nursery start time so these are the perfect healthy(ish) muffins to grab in the few minutes I get to down a cup of tea. If its one of my lucky mornings and Bubs is getting dropped to nursery by his Nana (Grand Dad) then they also taste just as great eaten at a leisurely pace.
Makes 12 cupcakes for you to eat alone or share.
