Each of us may have different tastes, prefer a more or less savory recipe, or believe that whipping cream requires a screwdriver. But what we all agree on is that in life you need sweetness to be able to move forward. And to eat, too. Otherwise, you'll surely die.
And so today we at Mamù have combined these two needs, that of sweetness and that of eating, and we have prepared for you the classic muffin recipe .
Muffins originated in American cuisine and are perfect for breakfast, a snack, or a diet-defying treat. The dough is easy to make in 15 minutes, and the list of ingredients is so short it's almost embarrassing to call it a list. Of course, it's up to you to decide how to top them: in that case, we're not responsible for its length.
