I get it.  The title of this post is…  a little strange.  Chocolate Quinoa Muffins??  Oh yes, I put quinoa in a dessert.  And it works! These Healthy Bittersweet Chocolate Quinoa Muffins are super light and fluffy, like cupcakes, but hearty and filling (perfect for breakfast!), like muffins.  They’re not …

Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins — sweet, moist and fluffy, and PACKED with chocolate and banana flavor! ??  You’d never know these babies are good for you!  Oh yes.  They’re refined sugar free, low fat, high fiber and 100% whole grain.  One bite and you won’t believe any of that, though.  Yeah, …

I have married cream cheese with blueberries …

Bigger is better when it comes to muffins, eh? (Except when you’re talking about the muffin tops that spill over a perfectly good pair of jeans.  Of course.) These muffins don’t look that big in the picture, and for that I am bummed.  I bought these rather gargantuous (word?) muffin …
