Author Notes
This muffin was sort of a spur of the moment creation from what was left in my pantry. You can really use as much basil as you like. Typically I just take a good fist full and cut it into ribbons, but the more basil the merrier. You can also add red pepper flakes, if you want some spice, but be careful not to overwhelm the flavor of the basil. I chomp down on mine plain or with a little butter. —koskir
