chocolate mint muffins
(4 ratings)
I like to make my muffins with whole grain, so getting a nice texture can be tricky. The nuts and prunes make for a fairly moist texture without the help of additional oil. These are lightly sweetened muffins, so adjust the sugar to taste. Best to store these in the fridge.
