everyday breakfast muffins
makes about 1 dozen



I am trying to get myself in the habit of fresh muffins at least one morning a week. Which has meant premixed batter (last week, not so good), or prepped ingredients. I made these the other day and it was a very lovely breakfast. Fresh baked goods in the morning can't be beat.
