Blueberry Muffin w/ Crumb Topping

No one eats blueberry, so I have leftover in the fridge. I decided to make blueberry muffins. It is weird, you know. Many people who do not like fruits will eat them if they are incorporated into muffin, cake, cupcake, etc. That's how I do it, and that's how you can do it too! =P

Blueberry Muffin w/ Crumb Topping
Ingredients:
Crumble Topping
50g cold butter
50g sugar
50g flour

Steps:
Mix all ingredients using fingers and put into fridge till ready-to-use.

2 eggs
80g sugar
100g melted butter
100g flour
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tbsp vanilla extract
100g fresh blueberries

Steps:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Line muffin pan with muffin liners/cupcake liners.
2. Beat eggs and sugar till slightly pale. Then, add butter and mix.
3. Add in flour mixture and vanilla extract till fully combine.
4. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
5. Scoop batter into muffin liners till 3/4 full, and sprinkle crumb topping on top each batter.
6. Bake in oven for 30-35 minutes. Adjust time accordingly. Some ovens need lesser time or more time.
7. Cool completely on wire rack.

Nothing can go wrong with blueberry muffins. The fresh blueberries really make the difference. Don't use frozen blueberries, the texture and taste are different.

Glazed Coffee Cake Muffin

Glazed Coffee Cake Muffin

My boyfriend does not like sweet foods that much as me. But, there are still some exceptions, such as this coffee cake muffin. He loves coffee cake, so I plan to make him some.

I put another layer of cinnamon sugar in between the batter to give another layer of texture. Next time I should put more in between the batter, it does not show too much of it in the above photo.

It makes me fall in love to this muffin as well. It has the cinnamon, hearty smell when the muffins were taken out form the oven. I added the crumb topping on top of the batter. Crumb topping is also my boyfriend's favorite because it is gives you the crunch when eating instead of only a soft muffin texture. Not overly sweet muffin!

Enjoy!=)

Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies

This cookies is called Chocolate Cinnamon Cookies. Very easy recipe, and yet very tasty. It has a crunchy outer layer, but when you bite into it, the inner part provides a soft texture. I absolutely love this kind of cookies. The decorations are done by me and my sister. Instead of just mixing the chocolate chips into the cookie batter, we choose to put on top to make it look different than the usual chocolate cookies. Surprisingly, I love this design. It makes me feel like a kid again. >.<. LOL.
