Oatmeal to Go Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins

October 15, 2015 Leave a Comment

As a homeschooling family, I only have to cram breakfast in while packing lunches and getting out the door on time once a week. We have a weekly co-op, and every Tuesday, amid the scramble, I marvel at all you moms and dads who run the gauntlet of morning activity every day. “Where are my shoes?” “I forgot my water bottle!” “No, you cannot wear flip-flops! It’s pouring down rain and 40 degrees!” It’s pure insanity. Getting some food in the kid’s bellies is the worst part. Breakfast is just not a meal that you can finish in the car easily. You either chow down at the table, or get to enjoy the smell of stale milk wafting from the back of the van for weeks on end after your precious 6 year-old dumped his cereal all over. Yeah. Breakfast is an in-the-house meal. Unless you make up a batch of these delicious Oatmeal to Go Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins. They are completely portable and absolutely scrumptious.

Glazed Cranberry Orange Muffins

September 22, 2012 4 Comments

I made these muffins because I was feeling too lazy to make my famous scones, but wanted a similar kind of breakfast item to bring with us camping. I hate being lazy. Especially when preparing for camping. My scones aren’t even really hard, just more difficult than dumping everything in a bowl, then into a muffin pan. Which is all the work these delightful treats require.

Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries

August 20, 2012 8 Comments

I started thinking about blueberries after my 6th friend posted on Facebook that they were blueberry picking. No joke. Who knew that all the cool kids go blueberry picking in August? Actually, come to think of it, a few weeks ago when my sister watched my munchkins, she took them out to harvest some blueberries from a local farm. I totally should have though of doing that! Man! When did I become such an un-fun mom? Gotta work on that! It seems to me that with all this berry picking going on, folks might appreciate a recipe (or seven) to use up some of that abundant fruit. So here’s the great big Bakerlady’s Best of Blueberries post!

French Toast Muffins

I’m always on the lookout for ways to eat dessert for breakfast. These delightful little muffins have perfectly light flavor and a melt in your mouth oh-my-goodness-this-is-so-amazing texture that’s to die for. What would you call a dessert that you pass off as breakfast? I mean, besides the obvious…pie. Bressert? Deskfast?

Blueberry Pancake Cupcakes

Sorry it’s been a while folks. I have a backlog of recipes to get thru and just haven’t found the time to get them up here. Welcome to all the new folks who’ve found me on Pinterest! A quick little recipe for today that I made recently for a tea party. It combines two of my favorite things. Pancakes and cupcakes. Full of blueberry goodness and topped with a to DIE for maple buttercream. A little sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and these beauties are sure to impress whoever you give them to! Absolutely delicious!

Streusel Topped Coffee Cake Muffins

January 7, 2012 2 Comments

Is it wrong to use Paula Dean cupcake holders when making a Martha Stewart recipe? I hope not. Cause if these coffee cake muffins are wrong, I don’t want to be right. Coffee cake is superb in general, but individualized servings in a sweet cupcake wrapper is just downright evil. Resistance is futile when you don’t even need utensils to indulge in this moist cake smothered inside and out with delicious streusel. [Read more…]

Bismark Doughnut Muffins

March 7, 2011 4 Comments

To me, you can’t get better than a warm, jelly filled Bismark doughnut. I love them. It’s a really good thing there is not a doughnut shop on my normal driving route because raspberry Bismarks are one of the foods I cannot resist. Really. Anybody wants to capture me and torture me for information – use a fresh Top Pot Raspberry Bismark as a reward for talking. I found a recipe today that I couldn’t wait to make – my favorite doughnut, turned into a muffin. How dee-lightful! I doubled the basic recipe because it said it only made 10, which is way not enough for my small group. Messed with the spices a little and made half with raspberry jam (topped with the cinnamon/sugar) and half with lemon curd (topped with powdered sugar…still brushed with butter first). These are a perfect alternative to my favorite doughnut. Fantastic!

Spiced Wassail Muffins

March 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

I decided this morning that it had been too long since I made a yummy snack for my munchkins. I found a recipe for Spiced Raisin Muffins and decided that with a few adjustments they’d be perfect! I decided to name my creation Spiced Wassail Muffins because as I was baking them I realized they smell exactly like the pungent spiced drink I make in the fall. These muffins have all the classic flavors of my favorite warm-you-to-your-toes beverage. Orange, apple, cinnamon and cloves combine to make them truly special. I decided not to put the glaze on top because they tasted plenty sweet without it, but if I were serving these at a tea, baby shower, or taking them somewhere, I’d probably add a drizzle of icing just for looks.

Apple Carrot Bran Muffins

We are having an aerobics session at tomorrow’s MOPS. And, my table is on tap for breakfast foods. I figured I should bring something that’s not laden with sugar, butter and cheese. Drat. These muffins totally fit the bill. They are chock full of fruits and veggies – and almost no fat! They are moist, delicious and practically guilt free! Seriously. These are absolutely fantastic. Yippee! Bring on the workout! I’m ready. I hope tomorrow’s exercise session is something like the included video. That would make me so happy. And probably would also make me fall on my face…but I’d be happy! [Read more…]

Awesomely Good Blueberry Muffins

January 5, 2011 1 Comment

Ok. This is way more like it. I decided to whip up another batch of muffins. I couldn’t just let my baking failure stay with me all day long. Since I didn’t have anymore sour cream and didn’t want to make a trip to the store, I used this recipe instead of trying the other one again.

The thing that drew me to this recipe was the strudel topping. I’ll admit it – I love me some buttery sugary topping. Mmmmm. It’s the delicious sweet crunch on an light and moist muffin. And, they come out of the wrapper perfectly! Hooray! I’d suggest making a double batch though – this recipe yields 8 muffins. Big ones, but still…only 8. [Read more…]
