Not too sweet, not too big, just right for a morning boost. As much as I adore granola bars for breakfast, it’s nice to mix it up with some healthy-tasting muffins. Plus, making muffins at home is significantly cheaper than buying them from a coffee shop. Although I did find this bakery by the metro [...]

Best Blackberry Muffins

HAPPY BIRTHDAY…To Me!!!
This is the update I promised from ‘Best Blueberry Muffins‘ where I seemed to have forgotten two key ingredients. Instead of running to the market to get more blueberries, I remembered I had a few cartons of blackberries and substituted those instead. Before now, I had never enjoyed a blackberry muffin, but I [...]
Best Blueberry Muffins

I may not be an official connoisseur of muffins or blueberries, but I’d like to think I know a good thing or two when I see it, and let me tell you something, I’m seeing it right here in this photo below.
Lessons learned: don’t use foil liners for muffins, the outside becomes weirdly spongy. [...]
Banana Espresso Muffins

If a person like James who doesn’t like the taste of coffee can enjoy these morning muffins, then you can too. They’re very banana-y and even better with some walnuts on top. I would suggest increasing the amount of ground espresso in the muffins by a teaspoon or two to really taste that coffee flavor [...]
Oatmeal Blueberry Applesauce Muffins

I like to make muffins or quick breads on the weekends so I have a tasty breakfast the rest of the week. Plus, since I’m not a big eater as soon as I wake up, muffins are perfect to put in a ziploc, head to work and eat when I’m ready. So dig in [...]
Raspberry Pecan Tea Cakes

It’s spring! April showers, May flowers. Blueberries, apricots, currants, figs and of course raspberries! The original recipe uses pistachio’s, but since there was the whole pistachio recall recently I substituted in pecans. Speaking of substitution…the original recipe calls for dark brown sugar. I didn’t have any so I used light brown sugar. But afterwards I [...]
Morning Glory Muffins – Passover Style
Posted in breakfast, brunch, holiday, jewish cooking, muffins, tagged glory, morning, muffins, passover on April 12, 2009 | 4 Comments »
I have to admit I was skeptical about this recipe as I put it together. I had never used matzo meal (flour that’s kosher for Passover) before in baking, but since it’s Passover I didn’t have much of a choice.
So I had one this morning. Then I had two. Then I had to tell [...]
Banana Chocolate Chip Nut Muffins

After perusing the web for a while, I combined a variety of recipes to create this one. They all offered similar ingredients and measurments, so today there’s not one link I can send you too.
A few recipes said to add a tablespoon of fresh ground coffee or several tablespoons of peanut butter — so if [...]
