Chocolate Chip Graham Cracker Muffins, so good you’ll think you’re eating a cookie for breakfast!
Muffins make a great go-to breakfast in our house. They’re portable. No silverware required. No plate or bowl really, just a napkin if you want to be uncivilized (or maybe lazy and not have to wash any dishes.) We love baking up different varieties and then freezing them. Makes it so easy for everyone to get what they want.
I did a Muffin Round Up from around the web and This Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip Muffin recipe from Michelle’s Tasty Creations has been calling to me ever since.
Maybe it’s because the graham cracker is in the muffin but also part of the streusel topping. Like a graham cracker crust but on top. And I love Graham cracker crusts!
Maybe because I just look for any excuse to get more chocolate into my breakfast. And hey, there are studies out there that say chocolate can be healthy for you, you I know I’m grasping at straws to justify my craving for these muffins.
You have to trust me on this and make up a batch of these muffins. I promise, it won’t be your last one.
You’ll be eating these for breakfast and then, because it tastes like a cookie, you’ll have another as an afternoon snack. And because Cookies and milk just make a good bedtime snack, you’ll have another one then.
Unless you can control yourself. Good luck with that!

These look amazing! I’m thinking of making them for breakfast tomorrow morning but I was wondering do I have to use whole milk or will 2% be ok? Thanks in advance!
Joan Hayes says
Sure you can use 2% milk, I won’t tell!
Daisy says
Thank you for replying so quick! I can’t wait to make these!
lori says
I used skim milk and they turned out great!! 🙂
Kellie says
Hello! Can’t wait to try! Would this work in a loaf pan rather than as muffins?! Any variations if so? Thank you!
Joan Hayes says
You could certainly make this as a loaf, you’d need to increase the baking time by 5-10 minutes. Use a toothpick to test for doneness.

Just made these, very good, but somehow I only ended up with 11 muffins!! As far as I know I just have regular size muffin tins!!! The kids really enjoyed them, will def keep this recipe and make again!
