Ricotta & Strawberry Breakfast Muffins

I can’t say I’m a huge fan of Weetbix, which means they have never been a pantry staple, until recently! Little miss 9-months old has half a Weetbix with stewed (microwaved) berries each morning. Yes, breaking Weetbix in half creates a bit of mess and chopping the “good bits” from the “bad bits” of strawberries, a little wastage.
This delicious recipe combats mess and waste. These Ricotta and Strawberry Breakfast Muffins are a perfect mid-morning snack for mum and bub.

2 C wholemeal SR flour
1/2 C Weetbix crumbs

a little extra ricotta and extra Weetbix crumbs to top
