Pralines 'n Cream Muffins
"These muffins are very moist and delicious! Great for breakfast or snack. I like to double the recipe because these little jewels freeze well. Just wrap securely; seal, label and freeze. To reheat frozen muffins, unwrap; microwave at HIGH about 45 seconds per muffin"

My family loved these. I used all white flour and added some milk chocolate chips. I baked at 350 and they were done in 23 minutes, but I did get 13 muffins. Thanks for the recipe -
Delicious muffins! The only changes I made was to use only all-purpose flour (I was out of whole wheat) and then to sub Splenda brown sugar. YUMMYY!!!! **Made for Beverage Tag 2008** -
These are good tasting muffins. I had a hard time with them staying together. I didn't use muffin liners but instead sprayed the muffin tins. That didn't work well. They were crumbly, but had great taste. Thanks for posting.

I don't think there's anything better than spending time with family and friends and enjoying delicious food together. I just love food. I love reading about food, writing about food, cooking food and.. not surprisingly, eating food. My latest passion is food-photography! I'm still learning a lot, but I'm trying to post photos with all my recipes and reviews. I read recipe books, magazines and food blogs like novels. I get such satisfaction when someone enjoys a meal or dessert that I have prepared. It is the biggest compliment to me when my family and friends rave about my cooking. There are so many terrific recipes on this site. If I'm looking for something, I'm sure to find it here. I do have stacks of my own favorite recipes which I am slowly but surely getting in my cookbooks here . I have had so many awesome reviews and fabulous photos taken of my recipes... I try to thank everyone personally .. I sincerely appreciate each and every review and or comment left. I know it takes time to photograph and upload photos - So I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for finding and trying my recipes and taking the extra effort...
