Why are things that are mini so much cuter??

Babies – CUTE
Puppies – CUTE
Muffins – tasty and CUTE

It’s pretty much a proven fact that all things in mini form have at least a 37% higher cuteness factor than their normalized counterpart.

Now that we got the facts out of the way, let’s talk MUFFINS.

I know I was claiming that mini muffins are so much cuter but my love for all muffins runs deep. I love them in any form. I don’t care what the flavor is. If it’s a muffin, I want it in my mouth.

Hard facts mmk?

When I started this whole Baby Led Weaning journey, I got excited about all the potential muffin recipes that were in Opal + my near future. I went Pinterest crazy. I started pinning BLW muffin recipes like it was my job.

When I remembered that it was indeed not my job, I plummeted back to reality and decided that I should just create my own delicious recipe. That way, Opal and I will reap the benefits of actually having said muffins + getting paid for it would actually be a thing.

Logic, I’m here for it.

Anyway, these muffins take a little more prep work but from thought to bite – they’re still under 30 minutes. That’s my kind of recipe!

While these beauties are baking, you can tidy up your kitchen and change over a load of laundry. Or just sit on the couch and binge watch Tiger King. I’m not here to judge.
