Description

Muffins and Mason Jars. Is there a better way to start the day?

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Pumpkin Applesauce Muffin, Or Whatever You Have Leftover
  • 6 ounces, weight Plain Greek Yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • 1 Tablespoon Honey
  • 1  Banana, Sliced

Preparation

Some days, I want a pretty layered breakfast in a Mason Jar. It feels like the right way to start a day.

Most days, I want other things for breakfast – other than items that would go into Mason Jars. Like oatmeal. Or cereal. Or more oatmeal. But on this particular day, the item I had in mind was one of yesterday’s Pumpkin Applesauce Muffins.

But how to combine the two? Other than sticking an unwrapped muffin in the bottom of a Mason Jar…which lacked some of the appeal I was going for.

Enter: Greek yogurt and bananas. The ties that bind. Here’s how I wrangled this breakfast into a jar:

First, I gave the plain Greek yogurt a little makeover. Girlfriend needed some pizazz. So I added a teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice and gave her a stir.

Then the layering began.

First, put about 1/3 of a sliced banana into the bottom of your jar. Then add a layer of spiced yogurt. Then a hearty squeeze of honey, since plain Greek yogurt tends to be a bit on the tart side. Then add half of a Pumpkin Applesauce Muffin (recipe can be found in my TastyKitchen recipe box!), crumbled. Repeat layers once and top with the remaining third of the banana.

I discovered that the top layer was good, but the bottom layer was best. So letting this sit for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to mingle and the muffin to soak up all of the yogurty, banana-ey, honey goodness would probably work well.

Muffins in Mason Jars. It CAN be done! Next up: oatmeal in Mason Jars. It’s so happening.
