Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Banana chocolate espresso swirl muffins

    • kellilee on January 01, 2023

      Baked these up for breakfast using new jumbo muffin tins. These were the prettiest muffins ever out of the oven - such a nice swirl. The banana and chocolate flavors dominated. I fear the missing espresso flavor may have been due to the fact that I substituted espresso powder with instant espresso coffee. I doubled that ingredient but still found it missing that coffee flavor.

  • Peach and blueberry cornmeal muffins

    • Shewi128 on August 29, 2022

      Cross-posted: the muffins turned out pretty good. I loved the gentle flavor of the peach puree. They were definitely sweet, and the streusel amount was ginormous. I got 12 mega-muffins and 4-5 regular muffins. They were really tender on the inside, so make sure you cook them all the way and to not remove them from the pan too soon. I would make these again. Note: due to almond allergies in our house, we used old-fashioned oats in the streusel.

  • Cinnamon swirl muffins with pecans

    • Shewi128 on June 12, 2023

      This is more of a cupcake than a muffin. I had to cream butter with sugar, so it wasn't really quick-bread type recipe. It was a little dry, and definitely overcooked (I cooked at the low end of the range). The flavor was ok. I don't think I'd make this again. Note: I substituted toasted oats for pecans in the swirl due to food allergies.

  • Lemon streusel scones

    • Shewi128 on May 25, 2024

      I love lemon anything, and these scones definitely hit the spot. The lemon and cardamom combo was great. I swapped out white chocolate chips for the almonds due to a nut allergy, and they were ok. Not sure if I needed the sweetness from the white chocolate chip. Highly recommend this recipe!

  • Sweet corn, cheddar & jalapeño scones

    • Shewi128 on February 13, 2023

      This was a nice, make-ahead alternative to normal cornbread. It was a really interesting combo with all of the components. Note: if you use frozen corn, the dough will be really really wet. Probably best with fresh corn.

  • Lemon ricotta poppy seed scones with poppy seed streusel

    • Shewi128 on May 04, 2023

      I did not make the streusel, and I also used the food processor. I also froze them ahead of time to throw into the oven for a quick breakfast. They turned out well if you bake them a little longer as they were frozen. I always find poppy seed goods to be a *little* dry, so I added a simple lemon glaze. I would make this again, maybe with the streusel next time.

  • Vanilla bean and cardamom scones with vanilla bean glaze

    • Shewi128 on May 22, 2023

      My son thought these were one of the best scones ever. The texture was light and the vanilla flavor was prominent. I loved them. I would definitely make them again. Don't skip the vanilla bean glaze.

  • Italian plum-and-Parmesan scones

    • racheljmorgan on May 27, 2026

      Tender and delicious. Not quite savory, not quite sweet.
