Love Muffins

Prasad: food, soulful offering with the intent to nourish someone else

Here is the recipe we perfected for baking ourselves into love muffins on our mats.

Ingredients

1 c. precision, too much or too little can ruin the whole batch
2 c. solid foundation, a finely crafted baking pan
3 c. melted heart, tips of scapula united
4 c. deep intention to create a delectable gift for someone else

For best results use only the finest all natural organic ingredients. (From what I see each week, definitely not a problem!)

Tips

• Muffins are not cake, the batter is meant to be a little lumpy! Over-mixing can lead to dense, tough muffins.
• Adding your special unique spice(s) makes all the difference.

Method

No preheating required. Instead of baking at 350 degrees, in each asana, simply let yourself be seen by the ultimate baker, that essence which knows your name. It's comforting, encircles and holds you, from the floor to the ceiling to far beyond, unwavering in its desire to treat you to a delicious experience. And, no matter what, it will not let you down (said otherwise, let your muffin tops flop). Think about it—this essense is holding together even the tiniest of atoms in the most rock solid of objects. Whipping up a batch of love muffins is nothing, all in a days work.

Serving Suggestions

Serve love muffins with the soulfulness of pranam, bowing (i.e. in balasana, child's pose) in honor of the magnificence of something bigger than yourself, as if to say, "here look, I’ve truly done my very best to create this gift (love muffin) for you."
