Let’s talk about breakfast for dinner, shall we? I will happily have eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast for dinner. It has to be one of the easiest meals to make, but it’s always so satisfying. For dessert, I’ll eat a waffle doused in cinnamon sugar.
Breakfast for dinner is a lot more common than you think. Did you know that nine out of ten Americans say that they eat breakfast for dinner, with more than half of respondents enjoying breakfast night dinners once a month or more? Even when you eat a bowl of cereal in the evening, that counts as breakfast for dinner!
The folks over at Krusteaz have “Breakfast Night” every Wednesday night for National Breakfast Month (it’s September, by the way). It’s so easy to do with all of their tasty pancake and waffle mixes. I actually ended up using their Wild Bluberry Muffin mix to make one night’s dessert. 
I tweaked it just a bit to the ingredients that I had on hand. Instead of using almonds and cranberries, I threw in walnuts and white chocolate chips. I’m sure the original version is delicious, but man, mine were kick-butt-good.
You have to give them a try! Each bite just screams “breakfast.” The best part is they’re made using a mix, so it’s beginner friendly and great to make with kids. I made mine bite-sized, but you can also make massive ones if you only want to eat “just one.”
Recipe adapted from the back of the Krusteaz blueberry muffin box.

Hi – How far in advance can you make these. I’m planning my daughter’s baby shower. Thanks!
I like these in double batches. However I add a half cup fresh blueberries for each box of mix as well as exchanging Craisins for the walnuts. I’ve been fatting the cookies a bit using a fork dipped in vanilla sugar. They are delicious and the fire family
