I drink coffee almost every morning, and if I don’t get a cup in the morning I usually enjoy one in the afternoon. I’ve always had a bad habit of skipping breakfast, and usually I’ll skip breakfast before I’ll skip my coffee. I try to keep a selection of easy recipes that you can make quickly or that can be made ahead of time on busy mornings. I thought I would share a recipe for Strawberry Mint Muffins that they pair perfectly with a fresh cup of McCafé coffee. 

I used fresh mint from my patio herb garden and strawberries from our orchard; I try to create recipes using ingredients that are in season or native to the area. This recipe can easily be doubled if you’re serving a larger crowd or taking them to a brunch. You can store them in a airtight container to serve them later if you don’t eat them all at once. 

These muffins pair perfectly with McCafé Coffee. It’s now available at Walmart in both pods and premium bags in 8 flavors. Living in Bogotá, Colombia as an Army wife made me appreciate high-quality, fresh coffee. Many pre-ground coffee’s seem to have less flavor compared to fresh ground, but McCafé coffee smells and tastes like fresh ground beans. It’s made with 100% Arabica beans from the foremost coffee growing regions of the world. The taste is smooth with no-bitterness. You may have seen McCafé demos at your local Walmart. I love the aroma that fills our home when we brew a fresh pot of McCafé. We can have an amazing cup of coffee without having to leave home.
