Wow! This is a life saver for my georgraphy project because I needed a recipe for my class that I have in the morning. Plus I'm trying to do guinea in west africa and all the dishes from there are super spicy and theres no way I'm serving spicy food in the morning! This is So perfect muffins in morning, but with a west african twist! :)
