“The best muffin I’ve ever had.” – Mama Rose Table Never have I ever had a more perfect muffin and believe me, I am a muffin snob. I didn’t think that my holy grail of muffins, my Chocolate Chocolate Chip Muffins could be beat, but yesterday I tried that recipe with a cinnamon streusel topping…

Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins

Lemon poppy seed was my favorite muffin flavor when I was young.

Blueberry Muffins

How good do warm, comforting blueberry muffins sound right about now? This recipe is adapted from my Coconut Muffins recipe, the softest muffin recipe in the world.

I first ate this perfect morsel of coconut goodness at beautiful Montpelier Plantation and Beach on the Caribbean island of Nevis. I loved them so much that I begged my friends at Montpelier to give me the recipe,…
