more on cravings....

yet another craving (or was it simply hunger?!) anyways, i was like wanting to eat muffins since last night - and have something in my head to whip up. however, this afternoon (teehee... it was just after lunch! :D) .. while preparing the ingredients - i saw the bunch of apples that i already have forgotten .. :D. so instead i made a batch of apple spice muffin and half of cherry-jam muffin (again heheh .. i just love jam-filled muffins!)

after just cooling for a few minutes - i ate two ... the cut ones .. :D and had them with a nice cuppa coffee .... my afternoon is complete, or almost complete :)

the recipe i used for these muffins was from 'basic muffin recipe' of Group Recipes:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 3/8 cup oil (that is 1/4 cup plus 2 Tablespoons)
• About 1 cup of any additional optional ingredients

How to make it

• Stir together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Add wet ingredients and any optional ingredients and stir just until moistened. (Adjust amount of milk depending on how moist your add-ins are - add less for moist things like banana, crushed pineapple, or pumpkin and add a bit more if needed for dried fruits.)
• Scoop into greased muffins tins (an ice cream scoop works well for this).
• Sprinkle the tops with sugar if desired, and bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until done.

for the apple spice - add i/2 cup chopped apples, 1/4 tsp cinnamon and dash of nutmeg ( i don't have the nutmeg but still tasted good!)

for the jam - i added 1 tsp of jam into each muffin cup and topped-off with more batter.
