Mexican Chocolate Muffins

I got the idea for these muffins last night after dinner. I then watched the movie “Inception“, which is pretty thought-provoking and impressive. Crazy wild special effects. Well, the idea of a naturally sweetened chocolate muffin with a hint of cinnamon stuck in my mind. So this morning after dropping off the gang, I went to work in the kitchen. I am embarrased to share with you how many I have eaten already. Let’s just say that I am pleased with the result:
