It's holiday baking time and I've got a treat for you today!
Each year for Christmas breakfast I make a special treat that's a holiday tradition. But what do you make the day after Christmas? Everyone is tired but you still want that holiday feel to your meal. Never fear, turn to my latest holiday treat:
YOGURT PECAN STREUSEL MUFFINS
These holiday inspired muffins will fill your house with holiday scents of cinnamon! They are moist and sinfully delicious inside and topped with a decadent pecan cinnamon brown sugar streusel. These muffins are to die for!
This is a small batch of 6 muffins. Just easy enough to whip up for a holiday breakfast treat. One the kids and the whole family will devour in no time! The muffins whip up in one bowl so clean up is easy. Plus, they have the addition of Greek Yogurt for a healthier treat plus a kick of protein.
These are defiantly something you will want to make right away. You can double the recipe for a batch of 12 with no problems. You may want to because these babies will be gone in no time!
Enjoy!
