Dump everything in that muffin tin!

Standard

I don’t know what is it about muffins, but everything tastes fuckin’ better when cooked in a muffin tin. Delicious sweet blueberry muffins. Egg and bacon baskets. An eggplant mini-cup stuffed with cheese and tomato… Damn I’m hungry now!

I could go on forever!! Anyway, it was too much fucking time since I last used my muffin tin. So while I’m continuing to eat fried chicken (especially spicy wings.) at the most unusual hours, when I’m home I’m snacking on these delicious… yeah you guessed it… MUFFINS!

I know the colour might be a little frightening, this greenish tint is not very muffin-like, but be strong my friends because they are SOOOO GOOD! So? What are you waiting for? Go out in your garden and start gathering some basil leaves right now! Or got to the store and buy a basil PLANT for heaven’s sake, you can’t afford the lack of one in spring/summer time.

If you like to add some extra to this recipe, I would recommend sun-dried tomatoes chopped finely or even anchovies if you like them! Now, enough with the chitter-chatter, I will shut up and give you the recipe 😀 Beware, it’s so easy it is almost ridiculous.
