I decided to make Funfetti muffins because lately my job has been turning into an all-out muffin war. I know many of you have heard of cupcake wars, well they have nothing on my coworkers muffin war. I have no clue what possessed them to start a muffin war in the middle of summer; you can practically cook an egg on the side walk with this heat. I really think the heat has officially gotten to everyone, since the muffin wars have gotten serious and I feel like this may turn into world war 6.
It has gotten to the point where I do not even need to make breakfast at home anymore; I will just have a muffin when I get to work, sometimes I am excited to get to work and chow down. The flavors are endless, someone actually stuffed bacon and cream cheese into one (talk about a heart attack waiting to happen). I did want to try the heart attack muffin, but I thought it just may give me a heart attack so I stayed away from that muffin.
My favorites so far have been the low carb coco muffins that Megan made (I know you are reading this and I will be needing your recipe asap!) and the cherry vanilla muffins. I have no clue who made those muffins yet, but they are keeping their identity a secret ( I want that recipe as well). I guess they do not want to be a part of this insanity but love to show their skills.
No one is actually judging this contest and I have no clue how it started, but I decided I would make a muffin that they would not be able to resist. I did a pretty good job because everyone is asking who made the muffins with the sprinkles inside.
