Muffin Monday ~ Morning Glory Muffins
A muffin can be what ever you want it to be wrapped up in one pretty little parchment paper package. These muffins are a combination of two of my favorite muffins pumpkin and carrot cake. I thought why not let these beauties collide.
Is it just me or does a muffin seem healthier? I could eat a triple chocolate chip muffin and feel like I just had a breakfast of champions, but I would never eat a piece of chocolate cake and think that. As you know I love me a good muffin! Or two.
There you have it….
It’s just another muffin Monday,
I wish were Sunday,
cause thats my Funday,
My I don’t gotstah Runday…
Yeh well, if I were a Bangle that’s how I would have written that song!
Enjoy ~ with love,
Sheila
