The story behind these muffins is a strange one… every time I visit a sick relative or give birth at our local hospital, they had these wonderful muffins!

Strange to find good food in a hospital? Perhaps, but I had to track down the name of what they were and recreate the recipe.

I am still testing and hope to find a way to give these an even bigger “muffin top”, but the flavor is there. They’re so delicious!
