Can I just say.............

YUMM!!!

I found this delightful creation on a blog this morning....... and, well, since I simply adore muffins, I thought, well, why not give it a try?

This, in spite of the fact that as much as I love them, I am not very good at baking muffins........ mine are, at the very least, reminiscent of "the Sahara desert"..........

But, oh, no, not this time! Not this lovely batch of "brown-bombshells".... no, no.......... these, these are..........well........... indescribable! Truly they are!! I wish I could send some to you........ they're that good!

I added just a teeny bit more liquids than the recipe called for, just a teeny.... like a *splash* more milk.......... a *skosh* more coffee {don't you love my cooking terms?} and maybe just a *glunk* {which is somewhere between a splash and a skosh} more vanilla than called for in the recipe...... I did this because I did not want to "visit" the Sahara this morning ;-)

And, I baked them for exactly the 18 minutes it says in the recipe...........

Also, as I was making them I discovered I did not in fact have chocolate chips :-( but I did have mini chocolate chips~ and maybe this made them even better! Oh, so yummy, and oh, so good! I am going to certainly make this one of my favorite blogs, and I will be trying more of her wonderful recipes, because goodness knows, if her recipe can give me muffins that come out like this.......... well, then this lady is one smart cookie!!
