Our mom has always enjoyed making muffins, particularly blueberry ones. Too often, though, blueberry muffins are dry in some spots and then overly moist and soggy wherever blueberries are. Thankfully, these are perfect. The base is made with canola oil, sour cream, and buttermilk, which all prevent it from being dry. The streusel on top…

Triple Chocolate Muffins
Life has been moving quickly lately. We have only a little over 20 days of school left, and the past few weeks have been crazy- a class trip to New York, a few more college acceptances, more snow delays, a research paper, lots of tests, a new job, etc. The next month or two promise…
Orange Ricotta Chocolate Chip Muffins
We are finally done our yearbook layouts for the year! I’m sure that we have mentioned it at one point or another, but the two of us and our friend Danielle comprise the senior section of the yearbook. For the past five months, we’ve been at yearbook for a couple of hours a day after…
Banana Black Bottom Muffins
Have you ever had a black bottom muffin/cupcake? It’s basically a chocolate cake base with a cream cheese cheesecake-like topping and it is definitely a decadent treat. These have some redeeming nutritional value since they have three bananas and we used low-fat cream cheese, but do not be fooled- even though these are acceptable for…
Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Crumb Muffins
My senior year schedule has been busy to say the least. I like most of my classes, but the homework load, especially in AP Bio, has been huge. A few weeks ago my class was learning about the macromolecules that make up life (carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids, and proteins, in case you were wondering). We…
Glazed Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins
Sorry for the slow posting this week! We’ve been pretty busy with school activities and homework, but hopefully next week we will be able to post more consistently. Since fall begins Sunday, we decided to share an ideal breakfast treat for you to make Sunday morning. We’ve made pumpkin muffins before (many, many times) and…
The Best Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins
I (Celine) recently started a volunteer job at the library for the summer. While I don’t earn anything for helping out there (obviously, because of the word volunteer), it has been rewarding anyway! The library is a great place to work on a hot summer day because it’s very well air-conditioned, peaceful, and the work…
White Chocolate-Mango Muffins
When summer rolls around, muffins don’t generally come to peoples’ minds, mostly because no one feels like turning on the oven in the heat unless they have to (like for a birthday cake or some last-minute brownies/chocolate chip cookies that are suddenly necessary). Well, turn on your ovens, friends, because these muffins are amazing. While…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Muffins
We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and chocolate is one of the most important food groups (yes, it is a food group). So logically, the two should go together sometimes! Now, we aren’t saying you should skip out on healthier breakfasts like yogurt, berries, cereal, eggs, or whatever…
Lemon Raspberry Ricotta Muffins
Spring is finally here,and we have less than two months of school left! We have been starting to see recipes with fresh fruit popping up all over the internet and got in the mood to do some spring baking ourselves. We decided to make use of some ricotta in the fridge and make these delicious…
