These were good, but I they would be even better with chocolate…what wouldn’t!

I didn’t have chocolate chips in the house, but if I did they would have definitely made their way into these muffins!  With or without chocolate, these muffins hit the spot for a late afternoon snack.  Give them a go this weekend 🙂
