I could not come up with a proper name for these muffins so I asked Red Beard (that’s my husband) what he thought, since he is my only guinea pig unbiased taste tester. He came up with White Chocolate Chip Muffins because they tasted too sweet to be considered healthy and the white chocolate flavor really came through strongly. Be warned: these are quite sweet and that’s coming from someone who has a sweet tooth! You could always leave out the chocolate chips, for a much healthier and less sweet alternative. 

The recipe was based off these lemon muffins but I decided on a few changes since I didn’t have lemon zest or blackberries. What resulted was a light, moist and delectably crumbly healthy muffin turned un-healthy. You decide whether these classify as breakfast or dessert. 😉
