Mom’s Muffins and a challenge for YOU!

Do you have a favorite family recipe? 
One that made your mouth water when you were driving home to visit your family?

This is mine.

 

My lovely Mom has been making this recipe forever
. 
Any time I would come home to visit (especially when I lived away)
I would fight with my dad over these, as I would eat them at every meal! 

One side with peanut butter and honey, and one side with melted cheddar cheese *gasp*
(obviously before my dairy free days)

Here it is folks
(ps. This is her top secret recipe so send her some love for sharing)


We are also looking for some substitutes to make these a wee bit healthier, gluten and dairy free
so please feel free to help think of some changes for the highlighted/bolded areas!
