Nilla Nut Muffins

As children, our Mom used to make this as a cake.  We would cut into slices and freeze it,  then grab it as a snack or quick breakfast.  When our family moved to England in the 70’s we could find any nilla wafers, so she used digestive biscuits(cookies). Less sweet but the did they trick.  Fast forward to 2000’s, we opened the Looking Glass Bakery, and start to sell these as a muffin.  Everyone wanted the recipe but we would share.  Now we can, enjoy.
