Recipe #24: Cherry Muffins

Cherry Muffins

These muffins were good tasting for the most part. They were a little dry, but that was probably due to my having left them too long in the oven.

The recipe was straight forward and simple. I decided to make the large muffins (6) instead of the small (12) because the cherries were rather large and I thought they would fit better inside a large muffin.

If I were to make this recipe again, I would chop up the cherries into smaller pieces. I think that would spread the cherry flavor around a little bit more, also. As it was, the only time I tasted cherry was when I bit into one.

My tasters seemed to like these muffins, though they didn't get rave reviews. I'll rate these 4 out of 5, for the fair (but not great) flavor.

Recipe #23: Cheesy Bacon-'n-Apple Muffins

Cheesy Bacon-'n-Apple Muffins

These muffins were just about perfect. They had a subtle cheese flavor and a slight apple taste. They were very good for eating with a main dish. Their texture and color were also very nice and they had a pretty shape. Moreover, the recipe was easy to make and no adjustments were needed. I made 6 large muffins instead of 12 small and they were a good size.

I used bacon bits instead of bacon that I prepared myself. That was a good decision because unlike with the Bacon Muffins (earlier recipe), the chunks of bacon in these muffins were much smaller and easier to chew. My tasters all said they were very good.

I would recommend this recipe highly and therefore give it a 5/5 ranking.

Recipe #22: Cheddar Cheese-and-Pepper Muffins

These muffins were pretty tasty. They had a slight cheese flavor and were quite moist. The only part of the recipe I thought didn't come out as well was the sprinkling of cheese on the top mid-way through the baking. The cheese refused to stay on top of the muffin and most of it ended up on the baking pan where it did no good.

Otherwise, they were successful and my tasters liked them.

I rate these 4.5 out of 5.
