Want a muffin that’s really just a bit of sweet cake?
Sometimes you just have to have a muffin. This time, not a healthy fix of oat or bran (let’s face it the craving for bran, doesn’t happen too often…), but a sweet-tooth satisfying muffin. One I could imagine sitting next to a hot cup of tea. So I set out over the bloggersphere to find a flavor combination that would fit the bill. It had to have chocolate… a given… but crunch might be nice…. not nuts… been there, done that. Graham Cracker… maybe. How about Graham Cracker Chocolate Chip? Perfect! Sounds like a muffin, meets a square, meets a candy bar! Let’s give it a try…
