A good old and not to sweet muffin is worth gold – yet difficult to find. I never understood why baked goods or any sweet need to be that sweet! As if all that should be detected by our tastebuds is sugar – what about all that good cinnamon and peanut butter we’re missing out on when treating ourselves to a little something?
