A muffin recipe for your Monday! Maybe it will remind us of a long weekend with all the time to bake all the things 🙂

Who is hating the time change? I feel like I got up at 3 am instead of 5! And apparently, we are in for a snowstorm today. I hope we get about 5 inches but that it doesn’t stick to the roads, ha!

I found a printout of about 500 kitchen/cooking tips in my grandmother’s cookbooks. They are obviously very old but many of them are still useful today. I decided to add one randomly to my recipe posts-check above!

How To Make This Recipe:

This recipe is really simple and most of the ingredients are staples that can be found in the pantry! I like to stir these up in a bowl by hand but if you would rather throw all the ingredients into your mixer bowl, just make sure to keep the speed low or use the stir option on kitchen aid mixers.

I use lemon extract if we are out of lemons and they are still just as yummy. Of course, I like to use fresh ingredients whenever possible.

The raspberry jam can be homemade in just a few minutes with berries and sweetener of choice or store bought is fine too. I used a jam with seeds but get/make seedless if you don’t love the seeds.
