I have to give credit to Donna-FFW, from "My Tasty Treasures" for inspiring me to bake this recipe for my family. I made a few changes-- instead of a cake, I grabbed my giant muffin pan. I ended up doubling the batter, so make six muffins. It's a good thing that I did, because my husband and son were sniffing the air and getting very anxious to eat these treats.
I'm not kidding when I say that my husband was staring at me as I grabbed each muffin to put on the cooling rack. He waited a total of sixty seconds, before grabbing one and slathering on butter. Just the thought of photographing his prized muffin was met with a glare.
These are very good, and super easy to make. I posted my recipe version with a doubling of ingredients for the topping-- it was that good!
Oh my goodness. I would definitely get out of bed for these muffins (or eat them in bed, really). They look fabulous, just fabulous. Man, you've started a craving. You know how you couldn't get these little muffin cakes out of your head? I think you've passed along the obsession!
ReplyDeleteI love to make muffins of all kinds. These look delicious!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you liked them Debby! I will have to try what you said and make them as muffins. Terrific idea!! They look fantastic! Thank you for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have one of these right now!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking muffins!
ReplyDeleteI just tried making these Applesauce Oatmeal muffins and doubled the recipe since yours says it's for 6. I wanted 12, but instead I got 20. I also doubled the topping and was left with at least a cup and a half of extra topping. Your measurements are off! Good thing I'm cooking for a hospice and the muffins will be eaten throughout the day, but for someone on a budget who doesn't like to waste food, this recipe will deceive them! Please adjust.
ReplyDeleteDear Anonymous:
ReplyDeleteFirst, the common etiquette for issues like these is to email me, which is prominently displayed on my blog. But, since you chose a public forum and are "anonymous" I will give you my professional response. Anytime you double a baking recipe, you are taking a chance. The pros will tell you this is not a good idea. The only work around is to make the batter, twice, as I did. Why you ended up with so much leftovers is beyond me. I'm sorry you didn't like the outcome, but I can't please everyone. Therefore, I won't adjust the recipe. If you have any further questions, my email is foodiewife@gmail.com
Thank you.
Your muffins looks soo delicious and I would LOVE the recipe. I can't seem to find it on this page. If you could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it :)

Scroll to the end of the post and the recipe card should be visible. I can see them via my iPad, iPhone and using Mozilla and Google Chrome. Explorer 7 might be an issue. If you still can't see it, please email me at the above address.
I want to make these muffins, they look great! Can I add fresh, diced apples to the batter or will that ruin it? TY.
ReplyDeleteI don't see any harm in adding diced apples, though I've never tried it. They might be a little crunchy. Sometimes I experiment, so if I were to do so-- I might saute them for a couple of minutes with a little butter and/or boiled apple cider to cook them slightly, then add them to the batter with a slotted spoon.
ReplyDeleteI made these this morning for a picnic breakfast. They were slightly crumbly, I'm not sure why. I would also like to boost the flavor a bit, I think next time I'd try your trick of cooking some diced apple and adding them, I also think I might sub butter for the oil. Love the topping. Thank you for the recipe.
