Sweet and tender breakfast bites featuring a blend of nutmeg and sugar, perfect for a quick, satisfying morning treat suitable for families and brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup sugar, baking powder, salt, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
- Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients.
- Combine milk, vegetable oil, and egg; pour into the well and stir until just moistened.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, consider sifting the flour before measuring. If you're out of nutmeg, cinnamon can be a delightful substitute. You can also use almond milk or oat milk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free option. If you prefer a sweeter bite, add chocolate chips or dried fruits into the batter for extra flavor.
Serving Suggestions
These breakfast bites are perfect on their own or served with a dollop of yogurt and fresh fruit for a balanced meal. They pair beautifully with a hot cup of coffee or tea. For a fun twist, serve them alongside some homemade jam or even spread some Provincial Liver Paste(Foies Gras) for a savory option.

Store any leftover breakfast bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate them for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds or warm them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-7 minutes until heated through.
