Muffin Madness!
I’m a huge muffin fan and that’s why I called this blog, Mighty Muffins. I can remember making dozens of batches of bran muffins when I was a teenager. I also went through a corn muffin making phase and a blueberry muffin phase. Lately, I seem to make mostly pumpkin, banana and oat bran muffins. If I don’t have a homemade muffin in the freezer, ready to warm up, I am not happy.
Muffin Ingredients!
Mighty muffins to me are the ones with awesome, healthy ingredients. There are tons of options for adding great nutrition to muffins, like raisins, dried apricots, nuts, a mashed up banana, chopped fresh apple or ground flax seed. The oat bran muffin I made today (at the left) has added walnuts, mashed banana and chopped apple. The add-ins make it great!
