10am playdate.
Hostess says she’ll have fresh fruit. Plus she’s making quiche. And sangria.
So what do you bring?
These beauties.
Coffee Cake Muffins
from Mark Bittman, via The Chicagoist5 tablespoons butter, melted, divided
2 cups AP flour
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 teaspoons baking powder
1 egg
1 cup milk, plus more if neededFor the topping:
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup chopped walnuts, pecans or cashewsPreheat oven to 400 degrees. Line muffin tins with paper liners. In a small bowl, mix topping ingredients together, along with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter. Set aside.
In another bowl, mix together flour, sugar and baking powder. In a third bowl, mix milk, egg and remaining 3 tablespoons of melted butter together.
Make a well in dry ingredients, add wet to it, and blend. Fold until dry ingredients are wet, then add in half of the brown sugar/nut mixture. Batter should be lumpy, not smooth, and thick but very moist. Add more milk if needed to achieve this consistency.
Spoon batter into tins, filling them about 2/3 of the way. Sprinkle remaining brown sugar/nut mixture on top. Bake 20-30 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Let rest at least 5 minutes before serving.

These look delicious Melissa! I’ve been craving coffee cake, so I can’t wait to make this for breakfast next week!
Yumm!
Oh, these look delicious! My husband is crazy for coffee cake. I have been meaning to try coffee cake in muffin form. Thanks for the recipe. I think I’ll give it a try. Yum.
These sound fantastic. I will try this weekend. I’ve been looking for a new muffin recipe. My husband loves muffins 🙂

awesome!………love to try this..thanks:)
joined your blog through the GFC..love your blog:)
These sound heavenly and I love the simplicity of them which makes them a wonderfully easy alternative to that terribly unhealthy boxed stuff!
I’m a big fan of muffins. And I think these look great!
I just saw these on Foodblogs and had to stop by to tell you how delicious these look. Have a great day!
Its not clear where you put the other 2 T butter?
Thanks for pointing that out – just corrected it!
I pinned this today (saw your comment!) and already tried them out. Really tasty! Probably would be even better had I remembered to add the butter to the batter, but that’s what happens when you cook with a toddler around! Ha ha! Will make again in the future WITH the butter, but even without these are more than good enough to share with my husband’s squadron. 🙂
Any ideas for high altitude? I’ve seen some recipes where you add a Tablespoon of water to help, but not sure if it will work for this recipe.
Yum! This recipe looks amazing! Just found you through facebook. Looking forward to the rest or your adventures!
