I’ve been seeing these little gems floating around Pinterest for a while now and I finally got around to trying them. I didn’t expect much, I’m not much of a muffin person, but these were so incredible. They were very moist, and packed with huge flavors! I wish I’d doubled the recipe. I saved what few we didn’t gobble in the fridge and warmed them in the microwave the next morning and they were still wonderful.
