I made these muffins for breakfast this morning, using your cookbook. Thought you’d get a kick out of all the silly mistakes I made! I accidentally read 1 1/2 tbsp. of water as 1 1/2 cups of water! When I noticed how watery the batter was, I read again and realized my mistake. Rather than throw out the entire batch of batter, I just added more flour to make a decent looking batter. However, after getting the muffins into the oven (with the extra water and flour, it made two pans instead of one), I realized that in all the fuss about the extra water, I had forgotten the cinnamon and nutmeg! So basically I ended up with completely different muffins than the recipe is for – but they’re still delicious anyway!

Over the last 4-5 months, these have become a staple in my house, I made them again just yesterday and it PAINED my little boy that we brought them to a get-together and let OTHER people enjoy them!

WOW! Thank you so much for catching that!!
I am modifying the recipe in the post now.

For anyone who would like to use plain flour in place of all purpose, here is the formula:
*To make your own self rising flour, simply add 1 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/2 tsp salt for EACH cup of all purpose flour.

Thank you so much!!!

Sounds wonderful and I am making them this morning.

BUT PLEASE!! As an experienced cook, I recognized this would not work without salt and baking powder, unless you were using self-rising flour. Your recipe just says flour. Sure enough, I scrolled up to your photo and checked to see the bag of self-rising. A novice would end up with very flat muffins.

mmmmm…. I love the nutmeg. Fresh? mmmmm! but doubling up on cinnamon sounds good too.
I just got back from Washington state where I visited a gigantic produce stand/market and brought back some fresh picked apples with me!
so….bring on the recipes Christy.

Leslie: It is good to know I'm not the only weird nutmeg one!!! I DO love me some cinnamon!

Tina: It makes a dozen large or twenty four small. You and my Mama both love the nutmeg so yours will taste just like Mama's!

Hope you are faring well with Gustav!

Oh Leslie I guess I am the opposite of you and Christy. I love Nutmeg I cant wait to try these muffins out. I bet they make a lot of muffins since you used the mini’s. But that would be ok i could add half to a ziplock bag and freeze them for a quick snack or breakfast without having to bake more. I love all those darn apples in the recipe.
