On a Muffin Mission

Last night as I was flipping through a couple of recipe books in bed – that’s my kind of bedtime reading – I decided that I wanted to bake a batch of muffins. This rain is ideal baking weather, and I haven’t done much in the way of cooking/baking lately. So…my mission was to find a recipe that I had the ingredients for, most of ’em anyway. Mission accomplished: Carrot Raisin Bran Muffins

After hitting my snooze button and sleeping an extra hour and a half, I rolled out of bed and headed straight to the kitchen. I cut the recipe in half to make 12 muffins, and made a couple other adjustments as well. They turned out wonderful, but a little on the sugary side for breakfast.

I will not bake muffins without these paper liners. They are the best thing that has happened to me, baking wise : )

Clean, crumb-free paper…my point exactly!

I paired my muffin with tangy cinnamon apple sauce – nom nom.

I am locking myself in the library for a couple hours today (no computer allowed), and hopefully fitting in some physical activity as well.

Let the 12 Days of Christmas begin…
