Mint Chocolate Chip Muffins

March 15, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 17 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Since St. Patty’s day is just about here, I thought I would share a green, minty recipe just for you!  I was inspired to make this recipe because my Husband LOVES mint chocolate chip cookies, so I thought why not turn it into a muffin?  After all mint and chocolate in bread form must be amazing!  You know what?  Yes it is!
Mint Chocolate Chip Muffins
If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen a green colored muffin with what my Husband calls a muffin with boobies. Well this is the same recipe with a little modification. I have a little lump in the middle, but nothing like the boobie muffins. lol These muffins turned out amazing! Light, buttery, minty and of course chocolaty. Just amazing! I was pretty impressed by these bad boys and my Husband just loved them. They didn’t last in my house at all.
Mint Chocolate Chip Muffins
They are super easy to make too! I made it the traditional muffin way, but added some vanilla greek yogurt for a little protein boost and to give it moisture. In compared to my first muffins, I used melted butter in these muffins. The other ones I used oil. I like the butter flavor so much better and the texture is so much lighter, and fluffier. I have to say butter in muffins is the way to go!!

Mint Chocolate Chip Muffins
I will tell you there is nothing like waking up to a soft, fluffy muffin fresh out of the oven. Oh and the smell of muffins baking! Oh my gosh I love it! I am so glad I don’t work in a bakery. I would probably eat just about every muffin out of the oven. *DROOLING*

Well my Friends, that is it for me! Have a super wonderful day!

Toodles,

Jennifer

    I’m such a green girl, I love just looking at these. I like that you call them muffins but they sound a bit more like dessert to me. Calling them muffins would make it much more legal to eat them for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks ……… anytime!

Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I Happy Wednesday! Pucker Up! Love is in the air! I am sharing with you part of my dining room that is all decked out for Valentines Day.

I worked on my little corner by updating my bar cart, which is so dangerous because I added candy that I can’t stop eating. I also added  my new Kissing Booth sign from @krumpetshomedecor. 
💋
The Kissing Booth sign is reversible and the other side says kissing booth, kiss me I’m Irish with green writing and green lips. I’ll share the other side in stories. It’s so cute!

The Kissing Booth sign is the Krumpets Home Decor deal of the week. Plus you get 10% off with code: PBANDP. The link is in my bio. Also Krumpets Home Decor ships to Canada.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
