SPICE MUFFINS

Had to make these little gems, spice muffins!  This recipe comes from a blogger friend, Michael Ann at  The Big Green Bowl. Go visit Michael Ann she has a lot on her blog.   These muffins are big, filled with a variety of spices from the spice rack. And quess what,  they are gone.... I did add the topping which I am not really sure made any difference. They are full of taste.  Serve these warm with butter or cream cheese. Enjoy and happy baking my friends, this recipe will be added to my recipe box.  Thank you Michael Ann.    

2 cups flour

2/3 cups sugar

1 TBSP baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp nutmeg

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp cloves

1/2 tsp allspice

1 egg

1 cup heavy whipping cream

1/2 cup milk

1/3 cup melted unsalted butter

1/4 cup currants or raisins, optional     (I added 1 cup of raisins)

Topping   (optional)

1/4 cup flour

1/8 cup brown sugar

1/4 stick of butter

1/4 tsp cinnamon

I used my little Black and Decker food chopper, pulse all the ingredients and then sprinkle over the tops of the unbaked batter. 

PRINT RECIPE

Spray or line 12 muffins cups. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes clean.  Allow to rest in baking pan for about 5 minutes.  Then remove to wire rack and cool.   

In a medium bowl add all the dry ingredients and whisk them together to combine.  In another bowl add the egg, cream, milk, melted butter and raisins.  Whisk this together then add the dry ingredients and whisk just enough to combine.  Do not over-mix.  The muffin cups will be full, so you could get 14 muffins if you wanted.  I didn't have any problems or overflows in the oven.   Just big muffins were made!   

Happy Baking,  Andi
