Polka-Dotted Breakfast

I made some healthy treats for my husband on Sunday--homemade granola and bran muffins--to make our breakfasts this week a little more fun and interesting. And I wanted to show off the adorable, vintage-looking muffin holders I found (for a dollar at Michael's) to bake them in. I've never seen such cute muffin (or cupcake) holders! I normally just bake muffins right in a greased muffin pan, but this way definitely beats that. It brings me a lot of joy to make something that not only tastes good but is cute as a button.

Wouldn't these be ideal for a birthday party for a child (or even a grown-up)? Or a baby shower or bridal shower? I can tell you that they have made me smile each morning I've had a bran muffin for breakfast--which is a great start to the day!
