If you’re heading for a picnic right now, take a few minutes off and go make yourself a batch of these muffins. Actually, it doesn’t matter if you’re going on a picnic. Make them anyway.
I know I say a lot of the recipes are simple but I can’t tell you how truly simple this one is. I made these at 6 AM this morning, half asleep and still sipping on my first coffee. The Graham Cracker crumbs lend a rare texture to these muffins. I added a combination of dark and peanut butter chocolate chips. If only the rest of the day were this easy…
Over to the recipe: Picnic or not, it is time for Graham Cracker and Chocolate Chip Muffins.
