Blackberry Breakfast Muffins

Breakfast is something that need to be served to my family quickly in the morning. I am sure that's the case in all household. Breakfast is one meal that should never be missed. I have read somewhere that you should eat a healthy and filling breakfast within an hour of waking up, gives a good kick start to your metabolism. I try to follow that rule. I sometime make these muffins over the weekend, so we can use it once in a while over the week. These freeze well for up to a month or so. Just pull out and pop them in microwave to serve.
