If you don't have any bread crumbs, you can make your own by toasting and then crumbling slices of bread.
To make the muffins even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the stuffing mixture.
If you don't have any muffin tins, you can also bake the stuffing in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
These muffins are best served warm, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
