Boardwalk Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins

It's official - the Boardwalk Bakery is now the Boardwalk Deli

If you're like me you loved the Boardwalk Bakery... I have great memories of walking to get breakfast in the early mornings before heading out for a day at the parks. Everyone had their go-to item and mine was Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Between past and more current trips my husband and I have both had to adjust our diets significantly, and I had to say goodbye to my favorite muffins in Disney World.

I set out to create a new allergy-friendly version of these muffins that I could bake at home. It required a lot of trial and error and a lot of tossed out recipes. These muffins have a specific flavor, bite and flake that is hard to mimic. Eventually though, I landed on a winner that I want to share with you!
