AN EASY MORNING GLORY MUFFINS RECIPE
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day… I’m pretty sure that’s been established. Luckily for me, and some of you may already know this, it is also my favorite meal of the day…
Eggs, bacon, toast, pancakes – you name it, I make it. But, one of my favorite morning treats to bake is a big ol’ scrumptious muffin. I like muffins because I can get really creative with these little guys; I can add veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds…whatever my heart desires, and I can make them taste pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
These Texas-sized muffins were inspired by a recipe that I came across on the net at Honest Cooking, the online food magazine. What caught my eye was all the tasty goodness that made up this delightful, cakey muffin.
