I don't know where other pastry chefs get their ideas, but I was inspired to create muffins with my favorite Irish whisky. With slightly fruity bittersweet chocolate and some fresh cinnamon, these muffins are a great way to start your day. Don't forget to warm them up so the chocolate is melty and top them off with some salted butter.
