As you can tell, most of us are avid coffee drinkers here. I enjoy experimenting with new ideas and finding great flavor combinations. The most recent recipe that I have stumbled on is for cappuccino muffins. They go great with the morning coffee and also make an enjoyable after-dinner desert. You’ll find the recipe below, please let me know what you think.
