These muffins are a great addition to any lazy time. Be sure to have that cup of coffee also to help you relax and enjoy your few minutes of Mom time. Make a double batch next time and keep the extras muffins in the freezer. Or mix things up by also making a different batch like these pumpkin streusel muffins. Then just pop one or two out and reheat for your special morning treat.
