I can hear you from here; you're saying "Another muffin? C'mon, Stephanie...you're in a rut!".
Another breakfast treat for Matt, and another recipe from this book; Chocolate (Mini) Chip Muffins.
Such a simple muffin; dry ingredients, wet ingredients, chips. Seriously. So easy.
While baking, I could smell the vanilla...and the chocolate...sigh.
Matt loved them, and jokingly suggested I not share them with Alex. As it turned out, Alex thought the muffins only 'alright', and didn't finish his (ok; they're huge, so I refuse to take it personally). Which leaves four more for Matt!
When I bought the Williams-Sonoma book, I also ordered a second muffin cookbook, 500 Best Muffin Recipes, which has been disappointingly boring. The book is bereft of pictures (always a seller for me), and the majority of the recipes are...gasp...healthy.
If I were baking for myself, that would be fine. As it is, I'm baking muffins for Matt. And he likes his cheese and bacon and chocolate and sugar.
So, while the W-S book may be smaller, and contain fewer recipes, I'm getting a lot more use out of it than the 500 book.
You never can tell, eh?

- Baked Doughnut Muffins
It is with a certain amount of shame that I must confess to you: this is only the first recipe from The Good Home Cookbook I've made! It's tragic, almost. After all, I was one of the happy housewife recipe-testers for the book (I think I eventually...
- Nothing Like The Smell Of Peanut Butter To Start The Day...
Haven't had much time, or inclination, really, to make breakfast foods for Matt lately. But Wednesday morning, around 1:30 (don't even ask what I was doing up at that hour), I decided I was fed up with myself for not baking anything, turned the...
- Finally, As Promised:jalapeno-cornmeal Muffins
Indira's been waiting, and here they are! Muffins for Matt, three jalapenos, minced, cornmeal, flour, buttermilk, and mashed potatoes (recipe calls for zucchini, but ours went bad), topped with grated cheese (Asiago), and baked till dry and firm....
- Cinnamon Buttermilk Muffins
Second recipe from this book, and we're just as happy with the finished product. A nice muffin batter, with buttermilk and nutmeg (I like to think I don't need to include the 'freshly grated' instruction every time...), baked till dry...
- Now That's What I Call A 'muffin'
After a recent spend-fest at Bed, Bath & Beyond, and a purchase of a jumbo muffin pan, I then had to spend even more money, buying up muffin cookbooks. Two in the mail Monday, including the Williams-Sonoma Collection: Muffins book. A quick flip through,...
