Simple Vanilla Muffins
I got this recipe from a friend. It is easy to change to make any flavor you like. And theyre yummy. I love to top them with chopped nuts and sugar, or a streusel topping. Try mixing in some fresh fruit, or whatever you are hungry for. Change the flavoring if you want too maybe almond. One of my personal favorites is blueberry with streusel topping. Mmm
