Don't these paper cups just make you wanna bake?  And make cupcakes?  Or muffins?  Or eat a muffin?  Go ahead, please, have a muffin!

Waking up before the house is awake is one of my favorite things in life.  Especially if I am knitting.  Or baking.  I love when I can fill the house with yummy scents as everyone wakes up.  And these muffins just didn't disappoint. 

The reviews of this recipe just confused me.  So many people substituting and/or making suggestions.  I decided to just go with the recipe.  (I love the New York Times Cooking App.)  They turned out fabulous. (I sort of recommend reading the article about baking the perfect muffin.) The streusel topping is a must.  They are supposed to be healthier than not.  Do you think they are still healthy if you eat 4 for breakfast? (Darn muffin cups.)
