To begin making Fruity Pebbles Muffins I dumped some margarine and granulated sugar into a large mixing bowl.

I used an electric hand mixer to cream the two together.

Once creamed I added in some large eggs, vanilla extract and some yogurt.  You can use any flavour.  I have used dairy free plain and strawberry for this recipe.

Then I stirred in some Bob’s Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Baking Flour and some salt.

Next I folded in some Fruity Pebbles cereal, blueberries (I used frozen) and raspberries.

After all the ingredients were combined I greased a silicone muffin pan.

Then I used a scoop to fill the muffin pan with the prepared batter.

I pressed some more Fruity Pebbles cereal into the top of each muffin.

Then I placed the muffins in a preheated 350F oven to bake for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After removing the muffins from the oven I allowed them to cool in the muffin pan for a few minutes.

Then I flipped them onto their sides to finish cooling.  You could also transfer them to a cooling rack at this point.

Use your imagination each time you bake up a batch of these breakfast muffins…vary the fruit and the flavour of yogurt you use.

Fruity Pebbles Muffins are sure to be a hit with young and old alike.

These colourful muffins are the perfect choice for a light breakfast or breakfast on the run.

FAQS:

Fruity Pebbles muffins are a fun and colorful treat that can be complemented by various sides to enhance the overall experience. Here are some ideas:

  1. Fresh Fruit: Serve the muffins with a side of fresh fruit like sliced strawberries, bananas, or mixed berries. The freshness and natural sweetness of the fruit will balance out the sweetness of the muffins.
  2. Yogurt: Pair the muffins with a serving of Greek yogurt or regular yogurt. You can even add a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of granola for added texture and flavor contrast.
  3. Whipped Cream: A dollop of whipped cream on the side can add a creamy and indulgent touch to the muffins. You can even top the muffins with a swirl of whipped cream for extra decadence.
  4. Breakfast Meats: If you’re serving the muffins as part of a brunch spread, consider offering breakfast meats like crispy bacon or sausage links on the side. The savory flavors will complement the sweetness of the muffins nicely.
  5. Coffee or Tea: Fruity Pebbles muffins pair well with a cup of coffee or tea. The warmth and bitterness of the beverage can help balance out the sweetness of the muffins.
  6. Scrambled Eggs: For a more substantial breakfast or brunch option, serve the muffins with scrambled eggs. The protein-rich eggs will add substance to the meal and create a satisfying balance of flavors.
  7. Fruit Salad: Create a colorful fruit salad with a variety of seasonal fruits and serve it alongside the muffins. The combination of different fruits will add freshness and vibrancy to the meal.

Overall, the key is to offer a balance of flavors and textures to complement the sweetness of the Fruity Pebbles muffins. Feel free to get creative and customize the sides based on your preferences and what ingredients you have on hand.

How do I store fruity pebbles muffins?

To store Fruity Pebbles muffins, follow these steps:

  1. Cooling: Allow the muffins to cool completely at room temperature before storing. This prevents condensation from forming inside the storage container, which can make the muffins soggy.
  2. Container: Place the muffins in an airtight container. If you don’t have an airtight container, you can use a sealable plastic bag or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap.
  3. Layering: If you need to stack the muffins, place a sheet of parchment paper or wax paper between the layers to prevent sticking.
  4. Refrigeration: While Fruity Pebbles muffins can be stored at room temperature for a day or two, it’s best to store them in the refrigerator if you plan to keep them for longer. Refrigeration helps to maintain their freshness and prevents them from spoiling quickly.

By following these steps, your Fruity Pebbles muffins should stay fresh and delicious for several days when stored properly.

Can I freeze fruity pebbles muffins?

Yes, you can freeze Fruity Pebbles muffins. Here’s a general guide on how to do it:

  1. Allow the muffins to cool completely after baking.
  2. Once cooled, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This helps prevent freezer burn and keeps them fresh.
  3. Place the wrapped muffins in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer for about an hour. This step is called flash freezing and helps prevent the muffins from sticking together.
  4. After the flash freezing, transfer the individually wrapped muffins into a large freezer-safe bag or airtight container. Label the container with the date so you know when they were frozen.
  5. Store the muffins in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.

When you’re ready to enjoy the muffins, simply take them out of the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator. You can also reheat them in the microwave or oven for a warm, freshly baked taste.
