Every time my Mother in Law comes to visit, she makes Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins. I prefer them with raisins but the kids usually freak out and ask why we wasted muffins by adding raisins!
The same goes with the nuts. Add ’em or not, you will still have some awesome muffins!
We always make a few different sizes. Regular muffins and always some mini muffins so you don’t feel as bad eating 12 of them as compared to 6 of the bigger muffins 🙂
Now, you can ALWAYS frost with some cream cheese frosting, or even just drizzle some over the top. But what separates the professionals from the amateurs, is breaking a HOT muffin open and spreading some cream cheese on it and eating it right away!
I would know these things. I am a total muffin professional.
