Being about 4 months old now she doesn't get much time to cook elaborate meals often grabbing and eating when she can. So I thought I would come over and surprise her with a wonderful breakfast. Eggs, and bacon, some fresh fruit, and some wonderful homemade muffins.
Today I wanted to share with you the muffin recipe. This muffin has two of my favorite fruits inside. Apples which I just love, love, love. I eat them almost daily and always have them around to snack on or put in salads, cakes, muffins...you get the picture. The other fruit is raisins. I grew loving raisins as snacks. I loved them in my cinnamon rolls, and would just eat them out of that little box mom would pack for me in my lunch. Remember those? So I threw in some raisins in the muffins and they go great with the cinnamon and apples.
These are wonderful moist muffins that will lift your morning.
The breakfast was a complete success and so appreciated and enjoyable, but the muffins were truly a hit!
Enjoy!
