Strawberry Ricotta Muffins

Muffins are a favorite treat any time of day and a perfect recipe to use fresh strawberries in season.  Whether they are a quick breakfast dusted with confectioners’ sugar or a sweet treat topped with a Ricotta Glaze or Mascarpone Frosting they are always welcome in my family. Ricotta gives an ultra-moist texture and richer … Continue reading

Sourdough Bacon Cheddar Muffins

These muffins are another great way to use your “throwaway starter”. I made these muffins twice to get the flavor and texture I wanted. The first recipe came from Genius Kitchen and I was not happy with it – too dry, not enough flavor and maybe they could rise more. The Genius Kitchen recipe peaked … Continue reading

Strawberry Filled Muffins

It’s strawberry season in Michigan once again  and the berries are small but so juicy and delicious. I make all kinds of recipes using these beautiful berries including Strawberry Shortcake, Strawberry Jam, Strawberry Cream Cake with Nasturtiums, Strawberry Scuffins, Smoothies, even a Strawberry Tiramisu. Of course they are always good in salads, or with fruit dips … Continue reading

These muffins are even better because they are healthy, I used my homemade Grandma’s applesauce which I can every year and there is maple syrup in the glaze. This recipe just shouts Fall, Fall, … Continue reading

Scuffins – Bacon, Cheddar and Apple

This is the third scuffins recipe I have made (and the last) and was just as good as the first, except there was no jam in the middle.   There are apple pieces so you get a touch of sweetness.  I guess for it to be a “scuffin” it should have jam  but with bacon … Continue reading

Scuffins – Strawberry Cream

This recipe appeared in a Better Homes and Garden magazine and has a different twist.  They have  lots of fresh strawberries inside and outside and then drizzled with a little icing to add more sweetness.  Of course I cannot forget about the strawberry jelly filling in the middle which really makes these scuffins special!   … Continue reading
