Sun, 25 Sep 2011 19:48:11 +0000 http://www.omnomicon.com/?p=313#comment-7354 WOW are these muffins delicious!! Just made them for the second time; they're sitting in my kitchen cooling right at this moment! The first time I made them, I had the same problem with the sunken tops from the brown sugar/butter ratio. This time I followed Aleta's tip and used only 2 tablespoons of butter, and I've ended up with perfectly rounded muffin-tops! It's hard to see the term "muffin-top" as a bad thing when I'm sitting here staring at these PERFECT, DELICIOUS things!! I can't wait to share these with my boyfriend :) Definitely going to be making these many many times, maybe with other fruits substituted for the blueberries depending on what's in season!

They are good. I had a hard time waiting for the 15 minute cooling-off period, but since there is brown sugar on top, I knew why. However, I was not ready for the ooey-gooey delicious-ness on the inside! That blew me away. I live and bake in Jordan, so I sometimes need to substitute ingredients. I did not make the muffins with blueberries, since they are only available for a short period of time in spring, imported from Australia. I would need to spend the equivalent of $20 to get the cup needed. I made them with fresh sweet cherries, which I pitted and cut in half. Um, YUM! I can't wait to try these again when the apples come in! They are also very tasty plain, on their own, just batter and topping. Like individual coffee cakes. YUM! I planted two blueberry bushes (ordered from internet) in the garden this year. I hope by next year, or the next, I can make these with my own blueberries! 20-06-09 I finally made these muffins this morning, and YUM! They are good.

These things are AWESOME. The only addition I would make would be to add some flour in with the brown sugar when you're beating in the melted butter with a fork -- it's a lot more strudel-y that way. And yes to more RRR challenges. Count me in! Made a batch of the winners last night and brought them into the office today to try to assuage some of the post-layoff-Friday grief.

I just bit into one of the muffins that I'd kept in a sealed container for two days at room temperature, and the blueberries had decayed, resulting in a bad, sour-tasting muffin.

My mother has the BEST meatloaf recipe! My sister-in-law made Martha Stewart's once, which took her a few hours, and it wasn't good at all! She threw it away and called my Mom for her recipe. The topping has an interesting kick. :-D Meatloaf – YES! My mother has the BEST meatloaf recipe! My sister-in-law made Martha Stewart’s once, which took her a few hours, and it wasn’t good at all!

Lemon would probably be good too :) PS

So glad you guys enjoyed the muffins! I didn't get a chance to take a peek back here until now. But, wow. Aleta -- those photos make them look truly spectacular :) As for future round robins, I'm TOTALLY in!! I think chocolate chip cookies would be spectacular. As would chili (SO many variations). I'd also be up for something as mundane as pancakes... or waffles... or gosh, just about anything. MMm!! So glad you guys enjoyed the muffins!
