Trying to get the kids to the breakfast table is a real challenge for busy moms, especially if they’re…ahem…a little slow to get up in the morning. So it’s a huge help to have simple breakfast ideas that you can go to quickly when you’re short on time!
These chocolate chip pumpkin cake mix muffins are a super go-to recipe that you can bake and have ready for your hungry kids as they head out the door! Plus, they’re one of my favorite recipes using spice cake mix, so they take almost no time to prep!
