wineberry muffins
These are my favorite muffins in the world. Jason and I first had them on our honeymoon in the cute little breakfast room at Stone Manor. They were so good that I couldn't leave without the recipe. I like to whip them up on especially cozy mornings. So of course, this Valentine's Day, I was sure to have these warm and ready before he headed off to work a few minutes ago. Crisp, golden tops and soft fluffy, berry-filled insides just say iloveyouwithmyentireheartjasonkneisler, which is precisely what I am trying to get across. They are the perfect start to a slightly cheesy, but wonderfully romantic holiday.
Jason and I at Stone Manor... One of the prettiest, most peaceful places I've ever been. You can see the estate in the back ground.
They aren't gluten-free, just amazing. These are one of the few things I will break my diet for, but if I use organic flour, my intolerence doesn't seem to flair up... even after 3 muffins. (Processed flour has up to 300 times more gluten than organic flour according to my doctor. So, if I have to eat wheat, I try to use TJ organic all-purpose flour. If you have a severe gluten allergy, don't do it. Use all-purpose gf flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoons of xanthan gum)
