It is fitting that I decided to make muffins though because I have been trying to clean my diet up the past few weeks. When my mom was alive and I worked from her house, it never failed that when I was on a diet I would smell something delicious wafting from downstairs in her kitchen. 9\/10 times it was usually a muffin of some sort. 10\/10 times I would say to hell with the diet and grab one fresh out of the oven to enjoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
