Notes

Want to make a glaze for these muffins? Try this:
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar (Confectioner's Sugar)
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter, Softened
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Milk
In medium bowl, combine all ingredients with an electric hand mixer until smooth. For thinner glaze, add more milk. For thicker glaze, add less.
