Claire Saffitz Makes Breakfast Muffins | Dessert Person
Time for some real talk about muffins -- they’re cake without frosting, filled with sugar and deserving of no place on a breakfast table. That is, until now. Claire Saffitz engineered this seedy maple breakfast muffin to actually taste good while also providing some nutrition (in the form of seeds, whole wheat, and blueberries). It’s finally a blueberry muffin you can feel good eating -- and did we mention it’s vegan?
