Muffins have magical powers.
Magical powers to brighten your day, that is. I honestly love muffins. I'd take a muffin over a cupcake any day, hands down. They are second only to pie in my opinion.
This week has been a huge muffin week. On Saturday, I went blueberry picking (and picked a ton! let me tell you). So, I made some blueberry muffins and brought them into work on Monday. I'm not a huge fan of blueberry muffins as I've found that they can greatly vary in goodness, but these ones were not that bad. I followed a recipe I found on Pinterest, making it vegan so I could give one to my housemate, and it worked. The muffins only went up from there.
On the course where I work, we have a lot of apple trees. Need a number? probably close to 50 if not more. There are a lot. But I've never counted them so I don't know. Many are clumped together because then the bees don't have to fly long distances to pollinate. On Monday, one of my coworkers managed to get a number of good apples down from one such tree and I took some home. Tuesday, I made Apple Cinnamon muffins.
Don't they look good? These ones were fairly healthy with no oil or butter included. The next day, I brought these lovelies to work. Wednesday was a cold morning. Normally, I go out with my green's mower and after 10, maybe 15, minutes I'm working up quite a sweat and by the end of my route (roughly two hours, give or take) I'm panting hard and soaked (sometimes also by sprinklers). This Wednesday, even though I knew I must have sweat, I felt dry. The wind licked the sweat right off in a dry kiss. As I neared the end of my mow (only 1 1/2 greens left to go), one of my coworkers came driving by on our Tee Triplex with muffins in hand. Apparently, the club house had given us a bunch as well. He paused and handed me one then continued on his way.
Muffins = bliss. I was content to pause for the moment to enjoy the muffin-y goodness (and it was scrumptious!). Muffins can seriously brighten your day.
My all time favourite muffin of the summer was from last week, though. A Banana-Zucchini-Choco-Walnut. Can I hear a YUM! ?
I know I can't wait to make these delicious morsels again! Maybe you should go make some, too. ;)
