Yogurt Muffins with Cream Cheese Glaze

"This is a quick and easy recipe which you can adopt too. You can use different kind of fruits, i love to use seasonal things so i would use berries in fall, bananas in winter, strawberries in spring and mango in summer. You can also use chocolate chips, raisins, nuts or a combination of those to make the batter according to your personal preferences and taste."

  1. Loved the muffin mixture, so moist and delicious!!! I made 1/2 of the recipe, using a mini loaf pan, and used bananas as the fruit and added some mini chocolate chips. I am not sure if it is a mistake or the actual recipe to only add 1 teaspoon of icing (powdered) sugar for the topping? I added about 3 tablespoons to the half recipe of topping and it was still very tangy and took away from the muffin mixture, so next time I would add a lot more or just leave it off and just enjoy the wonderful muffin/loaf!! I am rating this based on the muffin batter. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Made for "Best of 2010" Tag Game.
     
  2. I followed another reviewer and used banana (one, diced) and chocolate chips (1/4 cup) and these really made the muffins. Otherwise they were pretty dense (I make a lot of muffins and the crumb just wasn't as light and fluffy as it should be). I agree with the other reviewers - the powdered sugar amount is off, I added 2 tablespoons. We liked them equally well with and without the cream cheese frosting (or decorative nuts). I only got 10 pretty small muffins out of this recipe, and the frosting was enough to lightly cover about 6 of them.
     
  3. This recipe is a delight! The brown sugar gives a nice flavor and the texture is amazing - so moist and fluffy and light. I used strawberries as my fruit and added a bit more sugar to the icing mixture. I made these in mini-loaf pans so cooked an extra 5 minutes. Thanks for posting this recipe!

Originaly from Austria i moved to Iceland in 2002 after a life long longing for this country i felt at home at once and now it is the place where i belong. I am living with my wonderful husband in a nice, bright flat in the subburb of our capital, Reykjavik. I love to cook and eat healthy and i mainly use whole grain. I do not use any ready made mixes and i try to keep the food i cook close to the ingrediants i used. I am an elementary school teacher but i work in a kindergarden now and i actually prefer that field. Besides cooking and though especially baking, i like photography, knitting, swimming, long walks, all kind of sports, animals and nature among much more. <img src="http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f249/Dreamgoddess555/Narrow1-1.jpg"> <img src="http://www.caymandesigns.com/foodothers/fallswap.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"> <img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y164/lauralie41/cookbookswapspring08-2.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/DUCHESS13/RSC%20Banners/RSCParticipationBanner.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b158/bella_donata/My%20Art/Recipezaar/goldsparkle.png" border="0" alt="Made by Bella14ragazza"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"> This was at least as much fun as it was work: Thank you team! <img src="http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/79877/hkbanknives.jpg"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/sticker.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> My favorite game so far: <a href="http://s714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/?action=view¤t=rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww141/Um_Safia/rrtplayersbanner09-1.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> <img src="http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j166/ZaarNicksMom/Animation6.gif">
