Chocolate Chip Maple Muffins

Last updated on January 6, 2021 By Anna 13 Comments This post may contain affiliate links.

School resumed today, so I guess the holidays are officially over. No more spontaneous trips to the roller rink or mid-afternoon trapeze classes.

trapeze school

That’s Fuzz (in case you thought it was me) whose latent talent for the trapeze arts came out yesterday at Trapeze Austin. She’s never been to the circus, but she says she’s ready to run off with one so I have to keep an eye on her. She’ll do just about anything to get out of school at this point, but it’s back to business as usual.

Given the time of year, here’s a recipe that’s no fun at ALL. Okay, maybe a little. It’s a healthier muffin with whole wheat flour, flaxseed, maple syrup and a small handful of chocolate chips. There’s not much to say about it except it’s not the worst you could do for breakfast or a snack.

    You deserve a best mom of the year award for taking your daughter to a trapeze class! Sounds like so much fun!! Like your muffin liners. I think I have some just like them! 🙂

    wow, a trapeze class beats the tar out of traditional gymnastics. And hey, I'm excited about the thought of healthier muffins - even if a bit straight forward 🙂

    Oh my goodness, what a brave little toaster! I've never even done a flip off a diving board, so she has my complete and utter admiration!

    I just added one more photo. It's not very good because I took it with an iPad in low lighting, but you get an idea of how high up the trapeze is.

    BTW, the muffins are actually pretty good. I'm just trying to recover from the fun of non-stop holiday baking.

    trapeze class?! how fun!

    hopefully all your baking convinces her not to run for the circus 🙂

    haha :). Reading your description of the muffin made me chuckle. Tis the season for healthier and likely blander foods. Though my taste buds could probably use a rest :).
    And sure she might join the circus... but it could be worse, she could also have aspirations of becoming Batgirl :).
    P.S. Those paper liners are awesome :).

    WOW! That looks like great fun. Based on the ceiling beams I figured she was way up there.

    Yes! I was shaking more than she was. She said the only scary part is standing there waiting to get on, but once you're in the air it is fun. I was using a close-up lens so the photo doesn't really show just how high up she is.

    Oh my! Did your heart pitter patter a little faster as you watched her fly through the air!? Very exciting. Hope she doesn't run off, but if she does I hope she grabs a healthy muffin or two on her way out the door.
