These whole wheat muffins are amazing! They have …

Part of what I love about muffins is the base muffin itself, which is why I made these wonderful bakery like chocolate chip muffins…only better! I’m in love with these high domed chocolate chip muffins! Every bite is simply scrumptious. Crunchy top…buttery and moist muffin base…filled with sweet chocolate. …
