After making my gluten free candy cane brownies, I knew I had to come up with some more combinations for candy canes and chocolate. I decided muffins would be the perfect choice.
Now, I will admit that these are more like a dessert, or a special breakfast treat. These are really good, but they are more cake like your everyday muffin would be.
