Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins

Yikes! Has it really been over a month since my last blog entry?! This was a completely unplanned hiatus, and I want to thank you all for still reading!  I have a ton of back logged posts to share, but had to start with these pumpkin cheesecake  muffins.
I recently made these for a party at work and they were a huge [...]

Blueberry-Raspberry Muffins

Another berry recipe! My friend, Melissa, first made these muffins and they were so good, I had to make them myself! I adapted the original recipe by adding some vanilla and increasing the amount of berries and they were truly delicious. They are moist and flavorful from the berries, and the crumb topping makes them extra [...]

Coffee Break Muffins

My husband recently had to go in to work at 3 am on a Sunday morning. I decided that he and his coworkers deserved a treat for breakfast for all of their hard work! After browsing through my cookbooks, I came across this recipe and knew it would be perfect! The coffee in the muffins provides [...]

Pineapple Muffins

I love pineapple, so I was so excited when I saw this recipe for pineapple muffins. I knew I had to make these soon and bring a little summer into my cold and snowy winter. These muffins were moist and flavorful. I could not find pineapple yogurt at any of my local grocery stores, so I subbed [...]

Maple Pumpkin Muffins

My sister-in-laws baby shower started at 11am, so we wanted to have some breakfast type foods set out as people arrived. I made these mini-muffins, as well as raspberry almond mini-muffins. These muffins had a great pumpkin flavor and were very moist. The only thing I might do differently next time would be to increase [...]

Coffee Cake Muffins

This recipe comes from the lovely Ina Garten. Who doesn’t love The Barefoot Contessa? Seriously, especially her baked goods. A lot of her recipes intimidate me, but this one is one I have made several times now, both in cake form and as muffins.

Raspberry Almond Mini-Muffins

I was looking for some recipes to use my new Pampered Chef mini-muffin tin and Joelen sent me this one. These cute little muffins are very good and the perfect size for snacking. I brought these along with the cinnamon-apple mini-muffins to work for a treat over the weekend. These weren’t the prettiest muffins when [...]

Apple Cinnamon Mini-Muffins

I modified this recipe for cinnamon muffins from allrecipes.com to make apple cinnamon mini-muffins. These little muffins had just the right amount of sweetness and went perfectly with a cup of coffee. I brought these to work, along with the raspberry-almond mini-muffins.

Master Baker Challenge: Cinnamon Biscotti

For my first ever blog challenge, I chose this one, created by Nikki over at Crazy Delicious. The rules are pretty simple- she picks an ingredient and you bake whatever you want, as long as it contains that ingredient. She even picked an easy ingredient for the first round, cinnamon.
Sounds easy, right? Well, I decided [...]

Pumpkin AND Cream Cheese! Yum!

I must have made at least 4 batches of these muffins last fall. The recipe came from The What’s Cooking board, and I simply copied and pasted it since it was pre-blogging days. After a google search, it appears the original recipe came from here. I think these muffins are better than Starbucks! I made a [...]
