I am popping in from sunny North Carolina to share a fun Father’s day breakfast….

If there’s one Dad that I know who deserves a long sleep in breakfast in bed kind of a Father’s Day it is definitely my husband! He is in construction and so since we graduated in 1995 he has worked for his family’s construction business. This job requires him to wake up at 5:30am….many times 6 days of the week. Because of this he has a hard time even trying to sleep in anymore even when we’re on vacation… so for him to be able to sleep in and not wake up with an alarm clock is a real treat. This inspired this breakfast in bed for dad kind of a morning.

You can whip up these mini muffins ahead of time then on Father’s Day morning the kids can arrange them on the tray. Sprinkle on top some fresh fruit along with a super easy glaze that calls for just 2 ingredients! Serve it up with a cup of his favorite coffee and you will get his Father’s Day off to a perfect start!

International Delight Creamer
makes a vanilla flavored creamer that creates a perfect base for this sweet glaze. Add in a bit of powdered sugar and you’re set to go! (here is a quick Vine to show you just how simple it is). It’s just the right amount of sweet topping for these mini muffins. There are many items in the dairy aisle of your grocery store that can make your life much easier and this glaze, made with help from coffee creamer, can be used for any sweet roll recipe as well. You can customize the muffins by using an array of creamer flavors from cinnamon to hazelnut or seasonal flavors during the holidays. All you do is arrange the mini muffins on your favorite festive scrapbook paper (for Father’s Day, we are using a blue striped piece to resemble a tie) on top of a cookie sheet. I crafted the white color out of some white cardstock. You can add mini muffin liners that match your paper for an extra festive pop of color.

I found the template for the collar online…just trace and cut it out on cardstock.

Place 2 large pieces of scrapbook paper on a cookie sheet. Use double sided tape to secure. Cut “sleeves” from the top two corners. Place your collar on top. Arrange the mini muffins to mimic a tie:) Drizzle with your glaze! Check out my vine….I’m techy like that:)
