These muffins are a result of spontaneous craving. Be it the decision to mak
It was seven o’clock in the evening yesterday and all of a sudden I want to bake muffins. If you do bake muffins and cakes you must know how satisfying it is to see your cake swell. Your heart too swells with the cake. And the same happened when I baked these.
With a hint of cinnamon they were irresistible. When paired with a cup of coffee … YUM!
