Pinterest just opens up a whole new world of recipe collecting, doesn't it?  You log on, see pins from people you know and many you don't of images linking to sites with topics ranging from home decor to DIY projects to travel, to fashion, to food.  I shied away from the food pins for a while, thinking that any pinned recipes would just be too much of a gamble, but after getting over that nonsense, I have something like 168 pins in my Edible Givens- Food to Try board.  This particular recipe was a Pinterest find, and quite a good one.



Don't expect a muffin here.  I did, and though I wasn't disappointed, what I was left with was more akin to baked oatmeal cups, a new trend I've seen in coffee shops and cafes.  It's dense and moist, and keeps its freshness for a couple days.  It's tasty and adaptable with different mix-ins.  It's easy, and it used ingredients I already had.  Insert "yessss!" here.  I am of course linking to the wonderful originator of the recipe in the recipe title.
