The muffin section in Baking from My Home to Yours is a section of the book that the Tuesday with Dorie bakers have barely touched. So when Rhiani of Chocoholic Anonymous‘ chose these Coffee-Break muffins for this week's recipe I was delighted.
I rarely change up Dorie's recipes because I figure if I'm going to see how they are I should make them as is for at least the first time. But since we aren't coffee or espresso drinkers at our house, I opted for Pero as I have in other recipes that call for these type of ingredients.
I was worried for some reason that they might be lacking so I decided to add in 4-ounces of semi-sweet chocolate. I melted three ounces and then folded in the last ounce. Then the last thing I did was sprinkle some cinnamon and sugar on top. They turned out light, sweet and delicious. I would make these again and again.
Check Rhiani's blog for the recipe as well as the LYL post on the TWD site. AND don't forget to register for the new Dorie baking group, French Fridays with Dorie. It begins October 1!
In unrelated news, things at work are going great. We are getting closer and closer to the launch date of our new product. I'm definitely lacking sleep, but the creative juices are flowing. I can't wait to share with you all. I'll even post a few new recipes using the new Shirley J product!
So...
Top of the morning to you.
I mean...
Top of the Muffin to You!
Enjoy some snippets from one of my all-time favorite Seinfeld episodes, The Muffin Tops.
I think these {Faux} Coffee-Break {& Chocolate} Muffins would make great muffin tops!
Next week: Tarte Fine
Last week: Peach Upside Down Cake
Last year: Cottage Cheese Pufflets
Two years ago: Dimply Plum Cake (a favorite!)

"What is this, pizza pound cake?"
Great episode.
And these muffins were delish!
I do love that you use Pero to replace coffee. I'm guess that the chocolate didn't hurt the flavor, they sound delicious.
Lol, this is one of my favorite episodes. Your muffins also look great. Glad the idea with the Pero worked. I'll have to try that sometime since I'm not a coffee drinker either.
haha oh i forgot about that episode of seinfeld. oh so you think because the have no homes and no jobs that they don't need muffin tops either? ah, good stuff!
they look like a great start to your day!
Your muffins look great, I'm glad you enjoyed them (and chocolate is always a welcome addition in my book)
