Allspice Crumb Muffins
After delivering the last two wedding cakes, I started flirting with the idea of an all-raw diet. Or meat-only. Anything that didn’t involve butter, flour, eggs or sugar. But then I remembered that my friend Kayte of Grandma’s Kitchen Table was hosting this week’s Tuesdays with Dorie baking challenge. So, I decided to crank up the oven just long enough to bake a half-batch of her pick, Dorie’s Allspice Crumb Muffins.
Oh, I should have made the full dozen.
These muffins smell like Christmas morning. They’re light and cakey, with a crunchy topping that’s all sugar and spice. They are … scrumptious. In fact, you’ve probably got the ingredients right now, so bookmark the recipe here on Kayte’s site. Or pick up a copy of Dorie Greenspan’s “Baking: From My Home to Yours.”
These were delicious…and yours look amazing.:)
Your muffins look fabulous! I really loved them too. You're right! They do smell like Christmas morning!
I think allspice is so under used – nice to see that Dorie comes to its rescue!
Thanks for baking with me on my pick this week b/c otherwise I would have given you no end of crap about it. They look wonderful, very tasty, very crumbly with the proper amount of crumbage and all, and well, just downright photo worthy of your time and efforts. Thinking of getting remarried so I can have one of those cakes delivered to me. (Of course, I would marry the same guy, just in case you were wondering.)
They look delicious!! These muffins got a lot of mixed reviews, so I was apprehensive! But your testimony have made me confident about trying them
