Doesn’t Monday always come so darn quickly? I feel like my hubs gets home Friday night, we have a fun-filled, busy weekend, and then Monday is here before we know it. This week isn’t so bad because hes on vacation, but still, its just that Monday feeling! Gah. Ohh on a happier note, yesterday was so warm here in southern Maine we were able to sit outside WITHOUT coats or shoes on and drink Margaritas..I know, right?! Freakin’ awesome. Bring it Spring, I’m ready for you.
Ive told you that Ive been trying to do a sugar free march, so you could be wondering why I’m posting these muffins. Well simply because, they’re AWESOME. I made these, and devoured every last one, back in February, and am not really sure why I held off so long sharing because we loved these little babies!
The muffins are moist, a tad sweet, slightly tart due to the blackberries, and little bits of rich white chocolate complete them. They were so good. Generally I eat muffins for breakfast, but I was definitely using these as my dessert too. I mean, they DID have chocolate in them after all. We loved them. I’ll definitely make these again! I tried to lighten them up a little bit, and you seriously would not even notice the difference. These muffins rock.
Wonderfully tart blackberries mix perfectly with sweet, rich white chocolate in these fabulous muffins!
