These pumpkin pie spiced cashew streusel topped granola muffins are the ‘hellooooooooooooo where have you been all my life’ breakfast muffins. They are the ‘why did I not make more of these sooner as they make getting out of bed easier’ kind of muffins.
They are also the jazz up your lunch box and make your co-workers just that little bit envious muffins. They are filling but delicious, perfect hot or cold, not too sweet and not too cake-like. And their golden cashew streusel topping is just perfect. I could go on.
These cashew crumble granola muffins are pretty straightforward and easy to make from pantry staples like granola, cashews, flour, pumpkin pie spice and oranges. Plus, making them gave the kids a chance to play around with their current favourite gadget, aka the Redmond Smart Kitchen SkyScales, as they HAD to do all the weighing out followed by ALL the mixing. They had so much fun making these that they have asked to make these for the cousins Halloween breakfast get together. Result right?
I am liking my muffins simple like this, but feel free to add in other nuts, fruits and flavours to your taste. See the more christmasy cashew cranberry stresuel granola muffins version for a different idea.
PS – When you have a moment do pop over to the Redmond Smart Kitchen SkyScales website. They are fab as they can tell you the calorific and nutritional information in your meal as you weight out your ingredients. This means that you don’t have to spend ages working it out yourself especially when you are whipping up a more complex meal. And it does help you keep an eye on your calorie intake.
