My daughter loves muffins with surprises inside, so this recipe is for her. Who doesn’t like a surprise? I already have my Nutella Filled Banana Muffins on the blog. These muffins contain a sweet little surprise, but they are made with wholesome ingredients. If you like my Pecan Pie Larabars, you will love these! This is a great one to make with your kids.
I let my daughter put the filling into each muffin. It was fun to be able to let her help me bake.

I got 12 standard sized muffins and 1 jumbo muffin out of my batch. These should last 2 weeks in the fridge, but you can freeze them for longer storage.
