I'm not that person that wakes up hours before I have to be at work. I get up in just enough time to get ready and to be at work on time (give or take a minute or two). I like to have fast and easy breakfast foods on hand during the week and muffins are perfect. I can make them the night before, or I usually just make a big batch and freeze them in individual portions. It's perfect for Mr. Bites and Lady H as well. All he has to do is hand her the muffin and she thinks she is eating cake for breakfast.
These muffins are a bit lighter than your regular muffin. I'm not going to tell you that you won't tell a difference. I could tell, but they were still very good. They are not too sweet or heavy, but perfectly chocolate and great for breakfast or a snack.
