This may not be of popular opinion, but I will take a warm fresh-baked muffin over a donut any day of the week. However, there *must* be a crumble... a thick crumble. And the bursting blueberries? That's just bonus points.
These are nostalgia baked into muffin form. Incredibly moist and warming comfort with every bite.
Highly recommend for you or your babies! Mine downed two in one sitting, and they are by far my toughest critic.
Enjoy!
