When I used to be in Fashion School in Montreal, Canada, I had a roommate who also loved to bake. This one afternoon, she made these AMAZING muffins and I think I ate about 3 of them (and they’re big!!!). A few weeks ago I asked her for the recipe and she sent it to me right away. I have made them 3 times already! I just want to eat one everyday!! For me, this is the ultimate muffin recipe!!
