Muffins, Perked Up


My mom sent me the January/February 2012 Cooking Light magazine.  It's filled with so many enticing recipes I'm hoping to try.  The first recipe that I attempted was the Chocolate Chip-Coffe Muffins.
Its a new favorite for this mocha lover! I recommend making a double batch - but be careful not to over cook them or they'll be too tough.
