Almond Cranberry Muffins

[hippywife]

These turned out very good. The batter was thick and kind of dry so I added more milk to it but it still was more like cookie dough. However, they held their peaks. I pre-heated oven to 450 and held it there for about 10 minutes, then put the muffins in and turned it down to 375. I also added the struesel. Also subbed in 1/2 c. of ww flour.

They taste very good. :9

1. A muffin without a streusel or crumb topping is like...

...well, a bland and boring muffin, I guess.

Anyway, those look great.

I made some cream cheese muffins with a thick crumb topping back in November, they were great. My inspiration for the topping was the New York Crumb Cake from the America's Test Kitchen tv series on PBS.

2. I agree but

the problem with a streusel is that it doesn't really hold up well through the week and these do have to last all week for his lunch. But he eats them anyway.

I should have thought of some cream cheese in these. That would have been excellent. :9

3. Ooo cream cheese would have been a good addition!

They look delish. I've never had cranberry and almond together.
