Happy Birthday to me!! Yeap, that's right... I'm 28, again! :) Soooo to celebrate I wanted to share with you guys a few of my favorite things before I start with Christmas cookies, fudge and such. Be sure to stay tune for tomorrows post of one my fav dinners! Yum! I can't wait!! Okay now on the these muffins....
My hubby and me are CRAZY about white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Your wondering why I didn't make cookies, right? Well cause I am not a super big sweets girl. Shocked? I am the total wings and beer kind of girl, I can't be bribed with chocolate. Nope, its true I promise.
We wanted something that could kinda count as a breakfasty/dessert thing. At least in David's eyes that is. :) These muffins have been made so many times in the last 4 or 5 years I can't even count. Super super easy and tasty. They make my hubby smile so bonus points for me!
The batter is a little thick so don't get scared just shake the pan a little to even them out and be sure to not over bake them. Makes 12 muffins which really helps us with portion control. You can also freeze these if need too. Enjoy!!
