Muffin Mondays | Blood Orange Corn Muffins
Sunshine in the form of muffins, that is what these are. The inspiration for these comes from amazing sunshine corn cakes from Clementine. They are delicate, crumbly and have a bit of a crunch from the gritty corn. They have a sweet zesty touch from thick bits of orange throughout the muffin and a lovely [...]
Mulled Apple Cider Muffins | Muffin Mondays
Happy Monday! Are you ready to tackle the week? I know I would rather stay in my warm bed than face the cold, but the thought of warm apple cider is enough to get me out of bed. And warm apple cider paired with hot out of the oven mulled apple cider muffins, yes please! [...]
Muffin Mondays | Gingerbread Muffins
I love gingerbread. The warm smell. The sticky molasses. The spicy ginger. To me gingerbread screams winter time. It makes me want to snuggle up at home with a hot cup of tea. And bite of gingerbread reminds me of childhood in the winter. I remember eagerly devouring gingerbread while shivering from the cold. And I [...]
Muffin Mondays | Banana Almond Muffins
I hate to admit this, but I may have overdone it with the sweets lately. Between Thanksgiving and a recent donut binge I think I need to ease up just a bit. So for today’s muffins I cut back the sugar and I added nuts for protein. I’m still going to enjoy muffins, but just [...]
Muffin Mondays | Pear Cardamom Coffee Cake Muffins
The recent crisp cool air makes me crave warm comforting spices and desserts of stewed apples or pears. This time of year I just love the smells of nutmeg and cinnamon and cardamom that seem to come with the holidays. This morning still warm and snuggly in my pjs I baked up some pear cardamom [...]
Muffin Mondays | Nectarine Jam Muffins
The end of summer is slowly creeping up. My heart will break when nectarines, peaches and plums start disappearing from the farmer’s markets. Thankfully there is Sqirl Jam to capture my favorite fruits and preserve their beauty for enjoyment in the fall and winter. Jessica Koslow is the jamming maven behind Sqirl. She meticulously crafts [...]
Muffin Mondays | Dulce de Leche Doughnut Muffins
Some friends recently returned from a short visit to New York, while other friends are currently visiting the big apple as we speak. I am jealous. I miss New York. When I think about their fun travels eating their way through the city my mind instantly drifts to doughnuts. If you’re in the city it [...]
Muffin Mondays | Plum Muffins
When I wake up in the morning I’m starving. Does this happen to you too? I mean stomach growling, need to feast, starving. That and I’m tired. I never wake up not tired. Does this happen to you too? So when I finally stumble into the kitchen I just want to eat. Muffins aren’t always [...]
Muffin Mondays | Cherry Sour Cream Muffins
Cherry sour cream muffins. Juicy, sweet, nutty. The sour cream gives them a richness that almost tastes like cheesecake. The muffin is loaded with ripe cherries that bleed sweet fruit juice with each bite. I used half almond meal and half flour to create a light crumbly texture that is buttery and luscious. I topped [...]
Muffin Mondays | The Perfect Banana Muffin
Banana muffins may just be my favorite muffins. They never disaapoint. Even the worst banana muffin is still better than the average blueberry muffin. Did that make sense? You know when you’re starving so you go into your local Starbucks or Coffee Bean and you look at all the sad pastries sitting in the case, but [...]
