This week's Tuesday with Dorie was hosted by Rhiani of Chocoholic Anonymous. She chose Dorie's Coffee-Break muffins.
These muffins are little coffee-flavoured morsels that are definitely not sweet, designed to go with your coffee or to be toasted for breakfast. In Australia, we generally don't toast sweet muffins (only the English kind), so I am always intrigued when this practice is mentioned.
I wanted to love these (especially as I was keeping them for my lunch), but I only found them OK. This means that they probably won't feature in my recipe rotation. However, a lot of other TWD members did love these - you can check out their take on these muffins at the TWD blogroll. Thanks to Rhiani for hosting us this week - she will have the recipe.
I love muffins. They're just so cute.
ReplyDeleteI don't like sweet stuff in the morning, so I'm intrigued. I'll probably just end up sticking to my morning ritual of coffee and fruit :P But these do sound like a good "elevensies" pick-me-up.
ReplyDeleteI love these muffins Cakelaw, we dont toast the muffins, what curious that vyou metioned! gloria
ReplyDeleteI've never tried toasting this kind of muffin either. Too bad these weren't a hit with you, but they look nice in the pink papers!
ReplyDeleteI put chocolate in some of mine, and those I loved!! At least you tried, right? :o)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate honest reviews like this. Cute little cupcake liners.
ReplyDeleteI added chocolate which I think improved them
ReplyDeleteI'd love a muffin right now.
ReplyDeleteI've always found the sweet muffin toasting thing curious as well, but I would never eat a sweet muffin for breakfast so perhaps I just don't get it.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I don't tend to drink a lot of coffee but I do love coffee flavoured things :)
ReplyDeleteI love muffins, and I'm always looking for a new recipe. Sorry that you didn't really care for these.
ReplyDeleteI often toast muffins the second day. We really liked this recipe, but I tweaked it with extra coffee and chocolate chips.
ReplyDeleteSorry these didn't wow you! They look great in their cute liners. I've never heard of toasting muffins, either!
ReplyDeleteDidn't toast mine either. In fact i reckon the extra heating would further de-sensitise our taste for sweetness.
ReplyDeleteWell, they look really great, love those wrappers...so pretty. I liked these muffins and I don't like coffee, go figure. BTW, those decorated sugar cookie butterflies are gorgeous...really really beautiful, great job on those!!
