Muffins Galore!

Well, the weather in Maryland today is dreary and rainy.  But, everyone loves to stay at home and bake on days like this right? :)

I made all of these muffins a while ago for a staff breakfast, and they all got eaten up.  They were so tasty no one even knew they didn't have real sugar in them!  When I baked these, I halved each recipe so that I could bring a variety in as my contribution for breakfast, so I am estimating that the full recipe would actually double the number of muffins I got.

Pick your favorite kind of muffin, bake, and enjoy!
