Amazing Muffin Cups

Amazing Muffin Cups

I found this recipe looking through a magazine one day and knew I had to make it. At my house we love having a "special breakfast" once a week. It creates a nice change from our usual breakfasts.

To me the name of this recipe does not totally do it justice. Part of the name is correct, they are amazing, but the rest does not fit. I would probably rename them something like Amazing Breakfast Muffins or Amazing Breakfast Cups.

This recipe is extremely easy to tailor to your individual likes; you can mix in whatever you would like to or what you happen to have on hand that day. Just remember it all has to fit into 12 muffin tins.
