I’ve made muffins a few times, and they are the perfect snack muffin. I send a couple with the kids for their lunch/snacks at school and they are great because they aren’t overly sweet and don’t have a lot of ingredients. I’m already thinking of different ways I can change out the chocolate chips for something different.
Banana?
Strawberry Jam?
Peanut Butter? … Ok, can’t do PB if I want to send them to school, but for an “at home” batch, that would be yummmy, especially with a little jam smeared on top.
Snickerdoodle? Who doesn’t love snickerdoodles?
Apple/Cinnamon?
The possibilities are endless. One batch of this muffin recipe makes 60+ muffins. I use my large 2tbsp scoop to make them all the same size, because I’m obsessive like that.
