Puffy Muffins

I had never baked a muffin until now. I always thought this is best left to the professional bakers but I was wrong. ANYBODY can bake a good muffin, even a kitchen noob like me. Don't need to sign up for expensive cooking classes. All you need is YOUTUBE and a willingness to learn. This is true education - not the way Food&Nutrition is taught and tested in schools where kids end up hating to cook.

My first attempt at baking anything. The victory here is in DOING IT!

My learning continues in a shopping mall. 

Stop and smell fresh muffins out of an oven.
