I made these this morning. They were very good!

Coffee Cake Muffins

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup sugar

1/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup buttermilk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 large egg

Topping:

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1/3 cup chopped pecans

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 tablespoon melted butter

Preheat oven to 375*F.

Grease and flour a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine sugar and butter until creamy. Add buttermilk, vanilla and egg and beat until blended. Add flour mixture, stirring only until moistened. In a small bowl combine ingredients for the topping until crumbly.

Fill muffin cups with half of the batter; sprinkle on half of the topping. Repeat with remaining batter and topping. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until muffins test done. Cool in pan on wire rack.

I hate coffee, too. You could, of course, just use water instead of coffee. Or a combo of water and a flavor extract like walnut, almond, cinnamon, etc. Or how about using rum, or even brandy? The alcohol would bake away, leaving the flavor in your cake.

I love rhubarb, I even have a rhubarb section in my recipe file. I hope daisyduckworth sees this, she has some great recipes. Here's a few of mine: CRUNCHY SUGAR RHUBARB MUFFINS 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup sugar 1 tablespoon baking powder 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/3 cup vegetable oil 3 large eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk 1 cup rhubarb, cut into 1/2-inch pieces 1/2 cup large-grained sugar like Demerara (optional) Preheat oven to 350. Grease muffin pans or line with muffin papers. Sift together dry ingredients. Add oil, egg and milk. Stir until just mixed. Gently fold in the rhubarb, then fill the muffin cups two-thirds full. Top with the Demerara sugar and bake for 20 minutes, or until the muffins spring back when lightly pressed in the center. Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans. Makes 10 to 12 muffins Rhubarb Crisp with Ice Cream 24 ounces fresh rhubarb, trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 5 cups) 2/3 cup sugar 2 tablespoons all purpose flour 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted 1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon Streusel 2/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar 1/3 cup chopped toasted walnuts 1/4 cup all purpose flour 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted Buttermilk Ice Cream For rhubarb: Preheat oven to 375F. Mix all ingredients in large bowl to combine. Divide mixture among six 1-cup rameki Place ramekins on large baking sheet and bake rhubarb 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare streusel: Mix golden brown sugar, chopped walnuts, flour, and butter in medium bowl. Crumble streusel over rhubarb, dividing equally. Bake until rhubarb mixture is bubbling and streusel is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve crisps warm with a scoop of Buttermilk Ice Cream. RHUBARB-CRANBERRY COBBLER For an elegant touch, serve the cobbler in oversize goblets and top with ice cream. 2 cups sugar 31/2 tablespoons cornstarch 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger 8 cups frozen rhubarb (about 2 pounds), unthawed 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries 1/4 cup frozen concentrated cranberry juice cocktail, thawed 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 large egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup whole milk 1 cup all purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt Vanilla ice cream Preheat oven to 350Â°F. Butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Whisk 1 cup sugar and next 3 ingredients in lar bowl to blend. Mix in rhubarb and cranberries, then concentrate. Transfer to prepared dish. Bake until heated through and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, beat butter and remaining 1 cup sugar in medium bowl until blended. Beat in egg and vanilla, then milk. Sift flour, baking powder and salt over; beat batter to blend. Drop batter by scant tablespoonfuls over hot fruit mixture. Bake cobbler until topping is golden and filling is bubbling thickly, about 45 minutes. Transfer cobbler to bowls or goblets and top with ice cream. Makes 8 to 10 servings. Happy eating.

Lost ricotta cake/muffin recipe
Q
Comments (2)
I've made these. Perhaps they are what you seek. The lemon is subtle, there are ground almonds and almond extract as well as ricotta. And I probably posted it on a ricotta thread. Nonna's Lemon Ricotta Biscuits (muffins) from Giada de Laurentiis Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Yield: 12 muffins 1 1/2 cups plain flour 1/2 cup ground almonds (or extra 1/2 cup flour) 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup plus 1 teaspoon sugar or more as needed for sprinkling 1/2 cup (1 stick / 115 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest (from 2 lemons) 1 cup whole-milk ricotta cheese 1 large egg 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 1/3 cup thinly sliced almonds (optional) Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F/ 175 degrees C. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl to blend. Using an electric mixer, beat 1 cup sugar, butter, and lemon zest in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the ricotta. Beat in the egg, lemon juice, and almond extract. Add the dry ingredients and stir just until blended (the batter will be thick and fluffy). Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle the almonds and then the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar over the muffins. Bake until the muffins just become pale golden on top, about 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

They were good! Wasn't even real buttermilk in there, either...powdered!

Roselin, can you post the Oatmeal muffins?

Sure, Dishes, am happy to do it-they come from Taste of Home and are probably our favorite muffin.
Oatmeal Muffins
1c quick cooking oatmeal
1c buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
1/2c packed brown sugar
1/4c veg. oil
1c all purpose flour
1tsp baking powder
1/2tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Soak oats in buttermilk for 15 minutes. Stir in egg, sugar, and oil. Combine dry ingredients and stir all together just until moistened. Fill greased or paper lined muffin cups 3/4s` full. Bake at 400Â° for 16-18 minutes or til test done. Cool in pan 5 minutes before removing. I use the big muffin cups and this makes 6 big ones.
Recipe says it yields 8 muffins but I have never seen an 8 cup muffin tin.

Thanks, Roselin. I'll be giving these a try! More buttermilk...I guess powdered won't do if the oatmeal has to soak in it. I bought it once for a recipe, my DS grabbed it by mistake. Got a good surprise and that taught him not to drink from the carton :) I usually keep the powder packets around.

Too bad your son wasn't eating a piece of chocolate cake when he grabbed that carton of buttermilk-great combination! LOL. Let me know how you like them-they go great with homemade soup or stew too.

Carol, I made your yummy muffins this morning. Was it just me or is the batter supposed to be thick? I had the hardest time spooning it into each tin. Next time I make the recipe I'm going to make a cake instead of muffins. That's too much work for me early in the morning. LOL

Thanks for a keeper!

Cindy, I haven't made them in a while, thanks for reminding me, I think I'll make them this weekend. The batter was thick. I never thought to make it into a cake. I've made this coffee cake before and it's also really good. You don't really taste the coconut.

Coffee Cake

TOPPING:
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons cinnamon
2 tablespoons sweetened shredded coconut

CAKE:
3 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter (unsalted)
2 cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
2 cups sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla

FOR TOPPING: Combine all ingredients and set aside

FOR CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter 9 X 13" pan. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into medium bowl. Cream butter with sugar in large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Beat in sour cream and vanilla. Mix in dry ingredients until just blended. Spoon into prepared pan. Sprinkle with topping. Swirl knife through topping and batter. Bake until tester comes out clean, 45-50 minutes.

Carol, don't know if it's possible, but I think the muffins were actually better the second day. Or maybe it was just that they were already made. LOL I bet that same swirling technique on the cake would work on the muffins. I might try that next time. Thanks again!

Thank You "dishesdone"....One Good Recipe Deserves Another:

This is DH and my favorite......
BRAN MUFFINS from CINDY'S CAFE and CATERING, Mt. Vernon, Ill.

1 cup boiling water
1 cup All-Bran cereal
1 cup raisins
1/3 cup sugar + (Â¼ cup molasses-Â¼ cup honey)
1/2 cup Crisco
2 eggs
2Â½ cups sifted all-purpose flour
2Â½ teaspoons baking soda
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups 40% Bran Flakes cereal
1 cup pecan pieces

Mix water, All-Bran and Raisins in a bowl and let stand. Cream suger and Crisco in large
mixer bowl. Add Eggs one at a time. Sift Flour and Baking Soda together. Add alternately
with Buttermilk. Mix well. Add Bran Flakes and Pecan Pieces. Stir in the Bran and Raisin
mixture. Fill greased muffin tins 2/3 full. Bake in a preheated 400o oven for approximately 20
minutes. Makes 3 dozen 2-inch muffins.

Note: For muffins to rise properly, they must be baked in a thoroughly heated 400o oven.

For Cake (12 x 9 pan) start at 400, then reduce to 350. Bake for 55 to 60 min., or until
center of cake test indicates.

Personal Note: When I make this recipe I use 3 cups of All-Bran (instead of the 1 cup) and eliminate
the 2 cups Bran Flakes entirely.

Here is another might like, I sure do. These freeze well, in fact I store them in the freezer right after baking and then pull one out and nuke it when I want one.

Oat Bran Morning Muffins (Very good and very good for you.)

2 1/2 cups oat bran
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup canola oil (or extra-light olive oil)
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup dried blueberries or cranberries
2 medium apples (Gala); peel & chopped small
2 large eggs; beaten
1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 375Â° and position rack in the center of the oven. Grease or place muffin liners in 18 standard size muffins cups.

In a large bowl, combine the oat bran and the brown sugar; stir in the oil and buttermilk until evenly moistened. Add the dried fruit and chopped apples. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes.

After the 20 minutes, add the eggs. Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the buttermilk mixture using a large spatula or spoon just until evenly moistened, using no more than 15 to 20 strokes. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups level with the tops. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until tops are dry and springy (tooth pick test comes out clean)...don't over bake! Let them rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing to rack to cool. Store in an air tight container. They freeze well.
