So this morning I decided that today was definitely going to include baking. I had a look around for inspiration and decided on some baileys cupcakes. So we got up early, wrote the shopping list and went to a few garden centres to try to find some roses to plant outside the front door. Then we went to meet friends for lunch. It was so lovely sat in the beer garden that time ran away with us and we didn’t leave until just gone 4 meaning the shops were closed. The Baileys cupcakes will have to wait…maybe I’ll have time midweek!
I had 2 eggs left so searched for a recipe where I had all the ingredients and this one came up. I don’t make muffins very much, but these are so easy! Honestly….you can mix it all up in one bowl. And they are super quick as you don’t have to ice them. Just dip then in a yummy cinnamon sugar. 
My husband doesn’t actually like Nutella so I kindly substituted this for Cadburys Chocolate Spread. [callout title=Ingredients for the Muffins]
- 150g unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 200g granulated sugar
