I was asked WHY would I want to crank up the oven to make six muffins.
I replied "Why? Portion control. Variety." I am sorry if these four
words were unclear. I do not need to eat a 400 calorie jumbo muffin
nore do I need to eat six 200 calorie regular sized muffins. Also, in
my original post, I mentioned that this was for two people and I did not
want to freeze the remainder. Why don't I want to freeze the remainder?
Well, that brings me to the second part of the answer that you did
not like -- variety. Rather that eat the same kind/flavor of muffin
over and over, I would prefer variety. I hope that this is answer is
more clear to you PENMART01.
