Right now is a good opportunity to share cooking together in your kitchen. Cooking is optional in the world we live in with delivery services everywhere. Yet, at this time in our lives delivery and pickup is the only way to get meals or by cooking yourself. You may venture out one day out of the week to grocery shop so choose easy recipes. We want to eat as healthy as possible and if funds are low like for so many, a budget is a must. Well this would be a muffin recipe to make. These muffins do keep for several days in an airtight container. I like to warm them up and smear a bit of butter on. Yum!

You can bake these in a 12-cup muffin tin but remember to adjust the baking time. Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray because there is no need for paper liners unless you prefer. Another great thing is you can fill the cups to the top as these muffins puff up and not spill over. That would be a nightmare if baking cupcakes.
