There are some days that I wish Mr. How Sweet could cook.

And by cook, I mean cook things other than ground turkey, eggs, english muffins with peanut butter, and Trader Joe’s orange chicken.

I also wish he would stop snoring as loudly as a jet engine and start thinking of expensive shoes as an investment, but that’s neither here nor there.

 

 

Last night, I had no idea what I wanted for dinner. I’m sure you can relate. It was one of those nights where nothing sounded good, but I was starving and had already downed 3 bowls of cereal.

So I whipped up some muffins. Nothing goes better with carbs than more carbs.

Yes, I am still a muffin freak.

They are just so versatile that I love having a batch on hand each week to add to yogurt or smother with peanut butter.

Don’t worry, I exert portion control. I only have 6 in a sitting when I really want 7.

 

 

These are perfect for you chocolate lovers who don’t like things too sweet. I will never fully understand how that is humanly possible, but I know there are some of you out there.

The muffins are moist like banana bread, but dense and chewy. Chocolate chips would be a delicious addition, but I didn’t add any in order to keep it a bit more healthy.

 

 

That’s a lie. I was just out of them, obviously.

Instead of becoming an old lady with cats, I’m going to be an old lady with muffins.

At least I’ll smell better.
