Salted Caramel and Brown Sugar are two flavors that for me represent fall. They are warm and slightly spiced and they go great together! Like on these Salted Caramel and Brown Sugar Muffins that are just the perfect on the go breakfast.
This is one of those cases when you just can’t have only 1. Sure they are filling (and I really mean it!), but they are so delicious that you should go with 2. And if you want to make it extra indulgent serve them with a big mug of coffee (a Pumpkin Spice Latte maybe?).
And while I usually eat them in the car when heading out to run errands you can also serve them warm on a Sunday with cups of freshly brewed coffee, some orange juice, and a bit of maple syrup glaze. So basically a batch o these salted caramel brown sugar muffins is also super versatile.
Eat them on the go, serve them on a spread, or make a huge batch and pop them in the freezer for up to 6 months. I mean it can’t really get any better than that, right?
Except that they are also incredibly delicious! And a total crowd favorite and are really mind blowing easy to make at home. And I actually mean it on the crowd favorite department. Every single person that tries them either asks for more muffins or asks for the recipe.
To supercharge them and make them perfect for breakfast I use a combination of oat flour and all-purpose flour. You can buy the oat flour in the bulk section of most supermarkets, or you can make your own. Just add some oats to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until ground. It takes around 15 seconds in my food processor, so it’s definitely not a lot of extra work.
