I have been making these muffins for a long time. I have the recipe just the way I like it and it is my go-to desert recipe that I make for lunches for the week. I don’t feel too guilty about eating these – as opposed to stuffing my face with decadent delicious fatty cupcakes [Mmmmm fatty cupcakes] Sometimes I also add walnuts and I think cranberries would be good in there too. And if I’m in an extra chocolate-y mood, I will throw a tablespoon of cocoa powder in there too.
