..lay a little egg for me Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Thanks! I shall try yoghurt next time I make some. I chop up a bar of chocolate (drops are far too expensive I feel, although I'd love to have a great big bag of drops ), so some pieces are big and some are flakes. Yes, the drops are amazingly expensive. I discovered today that it is possible to make your own if you happen to have time on your hands!!! I was making some cake decorations out of piped melted white chocolate and had quite a bit left over, so I put tiny blobs on some baking parchment and popped the sheet into the freezer...result: white choc chips! Loving the muffin recipe BTW, eating a blueberry one as I type... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loving the muffin recipe BTW, eating a blueberry one as I type... ahhh, but that would take quite a while for me to make a decent amount of choc drops But I have thought about. I think I'd rather bite the bullet and buy some ready made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..lay a little egg for me Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I wish one could buy bigger packets of choc chips than 100g... I have to buy soooo many packets!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Lewis has just made some more We were all talking about muffins + brownies today so a few of us are making some for Physics tomorrow ... teacher doesn't know yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 10, 2010 Share Posted March 10, 2010 That will be a nice surprise for your teacher Lewis! I'm kicking myself now - just made a wacky cake and some choc chip and cranberry muffins. But I've just realised I also have a bunch of blackening bananas that need using. Choc chip and banana sounds much nicer than choc chip and cranberry. Oh well, will just have to make some more tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Ethan & I have just made a batch of banana muffins- our first attempt. Its 15 minutes till they come out of the oven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had a sweet craving so whipped up a batch with what i could find the fridge/cupboard just made some raspberry and vanilla ones with milk instead of yoghurt, vanilla essence and a blob of raspberry jam in the middle. A lot lighter than the yoghurt ones (I prefer the heavier texture of the yoghurt ones) but still very nice! Just put some batter in the muffin case, about 1/2 tsp jam then more batter on top and cook as normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 I made a rather serious raspberry type cupcake yesterday. There is still a couple in the fridge so I can do belated pictures tonight and blog it. I used Primrose Bakery recipe for a raspberry cake, then topped it with a good spoonful of a white chocolate cheesecake mix (recipe devised from a Hummingbird recipe) and baked. Finished that lot off with a raspberry cream cheese icing. The'y been pretty much demolished at work. My 17 month old managed a whole one too - he couldnt get enough of the icing !

emchook Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I am now baking some blueberry ones and some smartie ones. I have experimented with 25g less sugar for the whole batch .. should be yummy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I made some banana and chocolate chip which were lovely on their own. But then I decided to have a go at making a cream cheese frosting which I've never done before so chucked that on top. Oh my word How come I haven't discovered this before now??

sunshinesupernova Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 I've ordered a 24 bottle case of LorAnn flavoring oils to use in frostings. They come in a huge array of flavours... I'm dying to get my hands on them ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I often think of Poet & her recipes, specially if I'm opening a tin of ' Connie Onnie' (condensed milk) for making something. Taken from us far too young & I always wonder how her hubby is coping. Anyone know? Thanks for bringing this recipe up again. It's the perfect thing for me to make for my neighbour who is doing some work for us. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandmashazzie Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Just made some chocolate chip ones,they were very nice,although I think they shoul have risen more.Perhaps my baking powder is past it's sell by date.I think you are supposed to replace it if you don't bake too much,like me.
