Baking for my brother?

I know.....I am surprised myself, I never bake for my brother :). I mean it's not that I don't want to but I am just so tired after all those years of making easy mac for him 😂 He also doesn't have much of a sweet tooth (I don't know how we are related). He sent me this recipe http://www.runfasteatslow.com/blog/2015/9/25/superhero-muffins asking me to make it and I agreed because it actually sounded quite tasty, so it was a win win situation (unlike those mac and cheese days). I changed a few things around and added some spices and am really happy with them. I am going to try sunflower seeds next time! These will be a staple muffin recipe for me. Enjoy 😘
