Recipe #76: Lime Flavored Muffins

Lime Flavored Muffins

The recipe in 201 Muffins, Lime Flavored Muffins, included chocolate chips, which I found very intriguing. I do love citrus and chocolate together: chocolate dipped strawberries, orange gel-filled chocolates, raspberry and chocolate. So a lime and chocolate combination was bound to be good. And indeed it was!

I chose the recipe, Lime Chocolate Chip Muffins, from the website Crumbs&Chaos. I followed it for the most part, except to add chopped almonds for texture, and to top with a granulated sugar glaze rather than powdered sugar (because I didn't have any). I used fresh lime juice and lime zest and mini chocolate chips.

The muffins were delicious! Some of my tasters said "amazing," and "heavenly" to describe them.  So I would definitely make these again. Rating: 5 out of 5.

Recipe #75: Lemon-and-Poppy Seed Muffins

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

For the recipe in 201 Muffins, Lemon-and-Poppy Seed Muffins, I chose a recipe I've used before, but not in the muffins project: Perfect Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins, at the website, Mel's Kitchen Cafe, although I used a confectioner's sugar glaze instead of the sugar crystals called for in that recipe.

The muffins came out very lemony, but also sweet, thanks in part to the sugar glaze. It was a very nice combination. I thought they were delicious and so did my tasters. I especially liked the amount of poppy seeds in these: a lot.

I rated these muffins 5 out of 5.
