Nothing says “weekend breakfast” like a stack of homemade pancakes. If you’re making pancakes from scratch though, it can be a bit of an ordeal as you’ll likely have to combine several ingredients, melt butter, sift flour etc. It’s definitely worth the effort on the taste front, but, if you’re like me, you might not like that heavy, laden feeling you’re left with after you eat waaaaay too many pancakes.

These seasonal muffins are flavored with winter fruit and spice and are really delicious!
