from the king arthur baking website
I made these to go with some
black bean ancho chili
which isn't very photogenic
so here are the muffins by themselves :)
they were yummy but I'd cut back on the
sugar a tad.

hermits

people around here
namely my cousin Pradeep and my Pop
both like stuff with nuts and raisins
so I made some hermits today
no one knows why they are called hermits
but one theory is that they benefit from be
squirreled a way for a day or two so the
flavors can blend
only time will tell but they were really good on day one :)
