I'm a sucker for a muffin with a nice big ol' muffin top. I judge muffins by their tops. If you don't got a nice big muffin top, you're probably not as delicious. Is that true? Well, for me it is.
I don't know if you used to watch 30 Rock, but that was my show back in the day. That was when I realized I still have the hots for Alec Baldwin and found out just how much I really did love Tina Fey. They had this one episode where Jenna did a song at the end about muffin tops.
My muffin top is all that. Whole grain low fat... I know you want a piece of that, but I just wanna dance.
Pure comedy gold. After hearing that song, I haven't been able to even look at a muffin without think about those lyrics.
I totally spaced on the fact that Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Oops. Last year I made some heart-shaped whoopie pies and chocolate chili ice cream in honor of the day, but there year I got nothin'. Consider these chocolate covered strawberrry muffins as my Valentine's Day gift to you because they are so delicious and are the perfect way to wake up your honey in the morning.
These muffins are relatively lower in the calorie department so you don't have to worry about completely over indulging throughout the day. The graham flour adds a bit more health to your muffin, while also added an extra dimension of nutiiness and texture.

Graham flour?! Girl that is my kinda flour! Graham crackers always have and always will make me think of a snack my mom and i loved when I was little: graham crackers and peanut butter. Nothing earth shattering but so delicious!
Amanda says
That does sound like a great snack! Graham crackers are the best. That's why I love this muffin! All the graham flavor without all the extras. Hopefully this will be a nice adult kind of way to take you back to those days again!
