Ok, so I did make Pumpkin Muffins last week (admittedly, before I saw what this week's TWD recipe was), but I was still excited to try this recipe, which was chosen by Kelly. The muffins are moist and tender, with chewy golden raisins.
The recipe makes a lot of batter- I filled the muffin tins about 2/3 full, with still a lot of batter left. So I kept on filling until most of the batter was gone- the cups were almost 100% full. The recipe calls for sunflower seeds as the topping, but I crumbled TJ's Cinnamon Alphabet Cookies on top. The muffins baked up beautifully- with tall (but not overflowing) tops and the cookie crumbs got toasty and golden. Good thing I was paying attention (kids were napping)- mine were done in 18 minutes instead of the 25 stated in the recipe. Maybe I should've taken them out a minute earlier, too- they were the tiniest bit dry.
The muffins aren't as sweet as mine, which was good, but I think I prefer mine (and mine are healthier, too).Yes, I know that's a V, not a U, but I couldn't find a U. And RVCA does it, so why can't I?
Check out Kelly's blog for the recipe!
I thought that Kelly of a totally different blog chose these.
ReplyDeleteYvmmy is right! I love the crumbled alphabet cookies as a topping -- what could be more kid-friendly than that? I'd love to see your healthier version sometime -- I enjoyed these, but can't shake the feeling that there are lots of equally good but much healthier versions out there!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to crumble the cookies on top of the muffins. Nice job!
