I have to blame the warmer temperatures for the inspiration behind these muffins. I was craving something light and tangy and these definitely hit the spot. The greek yogurt gives these a light and somewhat fluffy consistency that I really like. They are not your average muffin in that they’re not very dense but I really enjoy that. I was actually extremely pleased with them, like kinda pretty darn proud of myself.. and so was the hubby. I may or may not have consumed three of the muffins within a few hours of making them. Whoops.

I think it would be safe to say that muffins are one of my favorite foods and definitely something I enjoy baking. I guess because it seems like there’s endless combinations you could come up with. This one just got added to my favorites along with dark chocolate banana bread muffins (I’ll be sure to post this recipe soon too). Now if only I had enough self control to keep myself from eating multiple muffins in one sitting when I do bake them. It’s a serious problem. But hey, at least they are healthy!
