While my mom is here visiting, we have been busy in the kitchen, restocking the freezer with baked goods. Mom has a great little cookbook of muffins from the Gooseberry Patch. Oh, the recipes! Oh, the yummy goodness! Ladybug (2.75 years old) hasn't met a muffin that she doesn't like!
Here are ten muffin recipes from Gooseberry Patch. We haven't made all of them yet, but they all sound so good. Grab a cup of coffee and dream of muffins!
1. Anytime Bran Muffins - very yummy and a great way to get some fiber!
2. Spicy Applesauce Muffins - these are my mom's favorites, they taste like apple cake
3. Crunchy Almost Butter Muffins - haven't made these yet, but they sound so good!
4. Cheesy Bacon Corn Muffins - we'll be making these today to go with the soup for supper
5. Harvest Pumpkin - you can add roasted pumpkin seeds on top. I like them with the seeds, Mom likes them without.
6. Lemon Raspberry Yogurt Muffins - these are VERY yummy!
7. Brown Betty Peach Muffins - one of my faves, for sure! when they're warm they taste like peach cobbler!
8. Sweet Dream Muffins - they taste like a wonderful sour cream coffee cake. Very yummy with coffee! (which, I suppose, is why "coffee cake" is called "coffee cake!")
9. Bumper Crop Zucchini Muffins - I can't wait until my garden is producing tons of zucchini. I know some people get tired of zucchini in the summer, but not me. I'm saving this recipe for my over-abundance of zukes!
10. Mocha Chip Muffins - I'm really trying to be good and not indulge in sweet stuff, so we haven't made these. But don't they sound yummy?
The great thing about making muffins at home is that you control the ingredients! There are so many tricks to "healthifying" baked goods recipes. I'm not saying they will be "health food." But you can enjoy one with a piece of fruit for a nice snack without a whole lot of guilt.
And piece of advice from the muffin recipe book - It is more blessed to give than to receive (Acts 20:35), so no fighting over the last muffin!

PS. A random opinion survey: if recipes come from a copyrighted cookbook, is it okay to post them on a blog if you give credit to the source? I always feel like this is a gray area in blogging.
I don't know about that copyright thing but I WANT THE RECIPES to all of them! YUM.
ReplyDeleteOoh, all of those sound good! Now I want to bake! LOL Thanks for stopping by my blog. I LOVE the name of yours! Very clever!
ReplyDeleteThis list in incredible. And here I've been sticking to blueberry muffins from a box. Clearly I need help! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather!
ReplyDeleteWe think it's just fine to share our recipes here on your blog as long as you note where they came from. It's great if you can find the book on our website and link to it but, if it's one that's out of print, just a general Gooseberry nod is okay with us.
Thanks for sharing this muffin-y goodness! :)
I love muffins, these all look great! Pass the Brown Betty Peach muffins this way, please!
ReplyDeleteI think it's okay to share. Now, if you buy a book and start a blog where all you do is post one new recipe from that one book every day... well, that might be pushing it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE making muffins.
ooohhh! I'll take a baker's dozen of number 10:)
ReplyDeleteYou know I'd be the one to jump in with the specifics, right?
ReplyDeleteLists of ingredients are not subject to copyright, but the narrative, photos, and collection of recipes are. So if you create your own narratives and photos you're fine, unless you post them as a collection.
It's also good taste to give credit if you don't modify the recipe.
