Mushroom muffins

Submitted by AdriMicina

"A slightly modified recipe from 'More muffin magic', a lovely little book that a friend of mine brought me a few years ago from Australia; I made them this morning for my mom, who's in bed for a bad flu, and though she hasn't eaten much these days, she had three of these in a row..."

These muffins were a great change to regular muffins. I am making these for the second time. We had guests over the first time and they loved them too. A great way to use my extra mushrooms.
