A piece of advice: if you're ever tempted to leave the crumble topping off of something to make it healthier, don't do it! The body of these orange blueberry muffins was good, but not extraordinary in any way. The crumble topping, however, made them pretty much the best muffins I've ever had! I ate, let's just say, a lot of them. I might start putting pecan crumble on everything I make, including lasagna and tacos. Just cuz.
Many thanks to Chaya, this week's Sweet Melissa Sundays hostess. You can get the recipe for these exquisite muffins on her blog, My Sweet and Savory.
I didn't make the crumble, reading your post, I wish I had.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love the crumble topping too and agree it is the star of this muffin.
ReplyDeleteI agree... the muffins were good alone but the crumble put it over the top! Your muffin looks great!
ReplyDeleteYes! The crumble did make these worth the calories and fat! Your muffin looks perfect! I'm glad I'm not the only one who ate...more than one!
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I felt exactly the same about these muffins and the crumble! I too think pretty much everything could be improved upon by some pecan crumble!
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone - the crumble was delicious. I love crumble, and strudel, and icing, and frosting. Pretty much any sort of topping!
ReplyDeleteAmen to the crumble. My daughter sat down and picked and picked and picked at it. I had to shoo her away.
ReplyDeleteHaha too funny! I didn't actually try one of the muffins this week, but I remember when we made the pear cranberry muffins with the gingersnap crumble I was tempted to just eat the crumble off of the top of all the muffins :) Love your photo!
ReplyDeleteHaha, Melissa, you're too cute! I'm glad you loved the crumble topping so much. That's actually the only part of the recipe I followed (I went a different route with my blueberry muffin base), but I agree, it's truly the star component! :) Your muffins look gorgeous, by the way!
ReplyDeleteHope you're doing well and having a great start to your week! Miss hearing from you!

Looks great! I think that I'll have to make the crumble someday!
ReplyDeleteWe, too, loved the crumble. Seems to be a common theme. Love the picture. It looks like a muffin you'd get from a bakery!
ReplyDeleteI so agree, the crumble would have been awesome. You muffin looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteYou should make a Dr. Seuss-esque rhyme for all the things you'd eat this crumble on ;)
ReplyDeleteyour muffins look picture perfect!
