Who doesn’t love a good muffin? This muffin recipe is simple and it’s a hit. You can jazz it up by adding chocolate chips (like in the picture) or by adding some fruit like diced strawberries. Amanda and I like to make a dozen and freeze them so we can warm them up in the morning for the kid’s breakfast.
