Morning Glory Muffins…all the things combined into one DELICIOUS muffin.
There’s just something magical about muffins for breakfast, don’t you think? (Or lunch, or afternoon/late-night snack)…
In high school, I worked at a bakery. While we were working, we were allowed to eat anything we wanted (hence why I chose to get a job there 😉 ). They made the yummiest muffins, and that was often my treat of choice while working. Ok, if we’re being honest, the muffin TOPS were my treat of choice.
I would take two or three muffins, slice off the tops, and let the bottoms go to waste. Thinking back, it was actually really wasteful of me. But high school Sarah just cared about how delicious those muffin tops were…
I’m obvie team muffin. (Secretly team muffin top). If you’re on my team, make some Morning Glory Muffins, and when no one is looking, just go for the tops. Maybe your kids will eat the bottoms? 😉
