Graham Cracker Muffins with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter.

Did you love graham crackers as a kid? If so these muffins are perfect for you and everyone else! Especially guests for breakfast. For some reason, I don't bake a lot of muffins ordinarily. But anytime there are guests at the table, muffins go in the oven! 


It seems everyone loves graham crackers, and these muffins are just as popular.

Graham Cracker Muffins with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter are a big hit with everyone! Kids of all ages love them. I wonder, is there even a single person that has not eaten and enjoyed graham crackers? We still love them, they are still a favorite snack around here. Especially for my husband, he loves them with peanut butter and a chocolate bar, sandwich-style! 

Stir the ingredients together the night before to get a leg up, the next morning.

A pan of these muffins is the best way to greet a new morning. One quick way to have fresh muffins in the morning, (this recipe or any other) is to assemble the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients separately. storing the wet ingredients in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and you will have fresh muffins to enjoy as soon as the oven timer signals they are ready!

Once out of the oven, let cool briefly, before serving.

Graham Cracker Muffins are delicious right out of the oven, with a bit of butter. But when we do have guests at breakfast I will jazz things up a bit and serve them with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter on the side. But feel free to offer your favorite nut butter as well. And for others, like myself, a smear of cream cheese and a drizzle of honey or real maple syrup is another way to enjoy them... pour the tea and pass the muffins!


Some additional thoughts on this recipe:

When working with whole wheat flour, spoon lightly into the measuring cup, and level the excess off the top. 

The Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter can be made the day before, cover tightly and store in the refrigerator. 

Do let the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Butter come to room temperature before serving.


Ingredients needed for this recipe:
  • whole wheat flour
  • graham cracker crumbs 
  • wheat germ
  • sugar 
  • baking soda
  • salt
  • buttermilk
  • egg
  • oil
  • molasses
  • muffin tin liners, if desired
You will also need the following:
  • measuring spoons
  • measuring cups
  • large mixing bowl
  • small mixing bowl
  • whisk
  • silicone spatula
  • muffin tin
Now we are ready to begin!

  10. My mom used to make French Breakfast muffins and the brown sugar cinnamon butter was for dipping the muffins into when baked! These sound a little bit similar.

    Thanks for sharing your recipe at the Homestead Blog Hop this week!
