I love muffins. My dad used to buy a triple chocolate chip muffin mix and make them all the time when I was in middle school. They would make me so happy, but then the grocery store near me stopped selling the mix. My dad hasn’t found the same muffin mix anywhere since. I’ve missed those muffins, so I decided that I wanted to learn how to make them and make them well. Baking is a complicated science. One change in the ingredients, temperature, or utensil and the whole chemistry of the baked goods changes.
