Butterscotch Pudding Muffins: A Sweet Treat for Your Taste Buds

Muffins, the perfect hand held breakfast. With the kids home for the summer I thought it would be nice to have something for them to eat when they get up in the morning (or around noon, insert huge eye roll here). They generally tend to starve if they have to actually cook their own food. Brett is more my big breakfast guy, while Alexa is more an eat on the run kind of girl. She also has a huge sweet tooth! When I was looking through my trusty collection of Taste of Home and Quick Cooking cookbooks, this recipe caught my eye because of the pudding mix in the muffins. Pudding mix usually tends to help bread mixes to not dry out, especially after a couple days. Butterscotch is also one of my favorite pudding flavors! The brown sugar and cinnamon mixture on top makes these muffins extra special. You could always add chopped nuts to the topping also, but we aren’t that fond of them in our house.

Baking the perfect Butterscotch Pudding Muffins might seem like a challenge initially, but with these tips, you’ll be a pro in no time!

  1. Quality Ingredients: Always use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. High-quality butterscotch pudding and fresh eggs can make a world of difference.
