Very well might be Halifax's best muffin!

I think that by now, it's fairly obvious that I love a good muffin. And found another one I have, in the form of Deli Green Bakery & Catering. The bakery itself is on Hollis Street. Though I've never actually made it there, I often get their incrEDIBLE creations at Atlantic News on the corner of Queen and Morris.

I cannot count the number of rushed weekdays and lazy weekend mornings that I trot over to the store to pick up something sweet and satisfying. All of Deli Green's baked goods are made with fresh eggs, Nova Scotian Berries and Apples from the Valley. They're made with Buttermilk to reduce the fat content, and are all trans fat free.

My favorite treat? It's almost impossible to name one. I've tried their Cinnamon Buns and Apple Cinnamon Buns. I've tried their Oatcakes, Chocolate Oatcakes and Peanut Butter Oatcakes. Their Cheese Scones and Very Berry Scones are to die for.

But, this post is about muffins, so I'll focus my attention there. They have amazing Blueberry, Apple & Oatmeal and Chocolate Chip & Banana muffins, but my absolute fave is their Morning Glory muffin.

Actually, this just might be my favorite muffin in all of Halifax. It's so incredibly dense, that it leaves me full for the better half of the day. With nuances of cinnamon, and a touch of vanilla, this baby is packed with raisins, nuts and a sprinkle of coconut. Deli Green's Morning Glory muffin is sweet and satisfying.

Hey I too tried baking muffins just after my exams got over. I go weak in the knees with a mention of muffins and cakes. My kids are crazy about this.
