You know me, I'm still yet to conquer my fear of baking sweets from scratch, the flour, the baking powder, the not over mixing, it's all a big headache for me and I tend to avoid those at any cost! But once in a while, with deep breaths and fire extinguisher at hand, I get enough courage to try something simple and safe.
Perhaps one day I'll do something more daring, for now, these muffins are just what I need.

I think I fell I little more comfortable because it was one of my mom's easy recipes, designs for her baking impaired daughter. If something was to go wrong on the first try, I could always call her and ask for help. I know you must be thinking how could I mess up muffins...believe me I Can!
They have a little extra healthy crunch with the Flax, but that's about it..I even put some glaze over because to my hubs it is not a muffin if it doesn't have glaze...that sounds more like a cupcake to me..but I'm here to please.
Thank goodness they came out perfect and I feel confident enough to share the recipe with you. If I can do it, You can too!
Thank You for your visit today! It's always a blessing when we have the chance to share our achievements with friends no matter how little they are. Keep in mind my friends, that everything tastes better with a Pinch of Love!
Besitos,
