heh.
so the hub mentioned last week that it would be nice to have some muffins or scones in the house for a quick breakfast in the mornings. and you know me - i'm always down for something like that. so i started looking at recipes and settled on a mocha chip flavor to make first.
the texture of these was different - good, but not really muffin-y. it wasn't crumbly, more chewy than anything. i liked it, as did the teen, and the hub seemed to as well. the recipe made so many i ended up putting half of them in the freezer to save for another time.
and then the hub brought in a few oranges from the tree in our back yard. so i came to the natural conclusion - and found this recipe for orange vanilla poppy seed muffins.
the whole recipe only had half a cup of sugar in it, so i decided to give it a little something extra and sprinkled some white sanding sugar on top. they came out really well, and the poppy seeds and sanding sugar gave it a fun little crunch. the hub really dug these, so i'm thinking i'll be making them again sometime.
i'd love to bust out some yummy scones, too. he wasn't a fan of those fantastic maple bacon ones i made a few weeks ago, boo. and now i'm on the hunt for more delicious muffin recipes. got any to share?
oh, and hey! happy birthday to my dear MIL today!
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i just about died when i read the first two lines of the blog. OH I LOVE MEAN GIRLS.
ReplyDeleteokay, now i'm going to read the rest of this entry and then probably comment again.
I made muffins recently too! I made this blueberry muffin recipe (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/to-die-for-blueberry-muffins/Detail.aspx) and it turned out amazing. So amazing I ate like 6 muffins. :/
ReplyDeleteYes, Happy Birthday to your MIL, all the best to her for a super year. Love the look of both your muffins and the orange poppy seed ones are a great idea (great photograph on top of the orange too!)
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that you liked the muffins. I bet they tasted even better with fresh oranges
