These muffins turned out exactly how I'd imagined them. They rose nicely with a peak on top and had a good structure inside. I only used 3 tbs. molasses (since mine was backstrap) and added the cinnamon. I added some grated carrot/raisins in some and my husband really liked those! This would be a great muffin to go with soups, stews, too. I got 12 muffins (as the recipe states). Thanks Aunt Cookie, for a delicious muffin with my morning tea. Roxygirl
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I wandered onto Recipezaar less than a year ago, looking for a lentil soup recipe. I'm pretty sure I haven't left the computer since then...I've been completely sucked in by this site! Of course, I do take the occasional break to actually cook the recipes I find.
When I'm not at my computer or in the kitchen, I'm working toward my PhD in clinical psychology from Kent State. I also work as a therapist at the campus clinic, teach a class (Social Psychology this semester), and work as a research assistant. I'm a little bit busy. I do usually find time every day to cook something for myself with the help of this site, and to exercise (to counteract the effects of the great recipes I find here).
I don't have much time in my life for hobbies at the moment (sigh), but I seem to recall that I used to like reading, going to see musical performances, and watching movies. I still do my best to travel as much as possible. My sister, Kate, my boyfriend, Jake, and my friend, Kris, are my favorite travel partners. Kate and I go on an "eatacation" every year.
