Chocolate Chip Muffins

Do y’all know what a muffie is? Yes, muffie. It’s the top, fluffy part of a muffin. & also the name of my alter ego.

Every modern woman needs one. A pseudonym. A name you tell the Starbucks chick. A name you tell the bartender for your tab. A name you write down on the cocktail napkin & slide across the table to a cutie. (I have never actually done any of this but I am prepared in the event.)

Muffie just suits me. She is snooty & cute – just like the real me except in pearls & sweater sets. She sips white wine (red stains her teeth) & is the first to start the dance party. She lives by the “no new friends” rule & only likes socializing in intimate exclusive groups. She really just enjoys good, wholesome fun, ya know?

I really have to take this opportunity to thank Panera Bread for introducing me to muffies. Browsing their pastry selection one afternoon I came across these sweet muffin tops & I just knew. Muffie would be MY cute, fluffy, better half, too.

Muffie also bakes cause y’all know I don’t do that crap.

    Fucking Jesus yes yes YES Muffie!! I want to be friends with Muffie. My official alter ego is now Zora who is Muffie’s friend from boarding school who smokes filtered cigarettes while drinking her rose wearily in the early morning of 10 am.

    Also, muffin tops are bae. ❤
