I can’t resist chocolate, even if it’s for breakfast.  Can you? I made double chocolate banana bread topped with peanut butter icing and mini peanut butter cups a couple of years ago.  Oh, it IS as delicious as it sounds.  I’ve been meaning to turn the recipe into muffins because who wouldn’t want the same tasty deal in a convenient grab it and go form?

Muffins are a good excuse to have cake for breakfast.

I haven’t baked muffins in eons.  There was a period of time when I was baking muffins every weekend.  I think I realized somewhere along the way that a muffin is essentially a cupcake without icing.  Cupcakes aren’t exactly healthy, especially not for breakfast.  Although cupcakes are perfectly healthy for dessert because I figure it’s like a small piece of cake, at least the way I cut cake.  😉 I’ve been dying to bake these Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies so I finally …
