I’m not much into baking, made a first attempt few days back to bake muffins but it was a total disaster. My muffins did not rise much, were dry, crumbly L after which I decided not to bake again. But I not a kind of person who would give up easily, baked them again today and that too for a weekday breakfast…as my muffins were baking away in the oven the aroma filled my house, kids and VK getting impatient to eat them but I was kind of very scared of the end result. And this time we have on our breakfast table this pretty little thing which was very yummy, moist from inside and full of flavor flavors. I am so so very happy with it. Athena and Arnav thoroughly enjoyed them and took them to school as well; VK too enjoyed it though he does not enjoy baked goodies too much. I am very satisfied and happy with my bake today…this has encouraged me to bake more now. Loving it J Well, well chocolate pudding on valentines and these yummy muffins today….sugar again…oh, how can I give up my no sugar resolution…I will not.
