Muffin Recipe

eternity04, Aug 6, 11:48pm
Im looking for a very basic muffin recipe. One that I can add some chopped up apricots and cream cheese to. I want one that doesn't have to many eggs in it either, as I only have two in the pantry. I would rather have butter in them instead of oil as thats one thing I dont have any of.

TIA.Jan.
