It comes as no surprise that I have become bored with the banana muffins I have been making on a weekly basis for the last three months. Before that it was the cranberry and white chocolate muffin that I wore out, and before that it was the muesli muffin, well you get the picture. The time for a new muffin mix fix has arrived.

This time I am deciding between the crumb cake muffin, the apple sauce muffin, the walnut date muffin, the pear and granola muffin and the spiced carrot muffin. Having no experience with any of them, I am pretty definite that I will be selecting the new object of my affection based upon the number of ingredients, the price of those materials, the calories, and finally the amount of time it will take to make them. Already I eliminated another kind of muffin because I read that your baking soda and flour need to be really fresh to get the best results, and since I have no idea when I bought either of those last, I thought it best to move on.
