The muffin recipe was adapted from the food blog, Lauren's Latest, which I highly recommend you visit. And if you have a sweet tooth like me, I'd recommend trying one for breakfast with a black cup of coffee.

3 cups organic whole wheat flour
1.5 cups organic brown sugar

I read an article on Oprah about eating dessert for breakfast... something about the group who ate a higher calorie breakfast, and had their dessert at breakfast, maintained their weight loss longer and made better food choices throughout the day because they already had something sweet. I immediately thought of muffins. Muffins may be the perfect dessert for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteGlad you shared that with me. It makes perfect sense. Probably why a donut is best eaten at breakfast.
