Oh look, more snow. Yep, that's what we were saying Super Bowl Sunday, February 1st. In fact, we got so much of the white stuff, our party plans had to be rescheduled due to nasty driving conditions. I can't say we were thrilled, but hey we had to make the best of it.
We ended up with about a foot of snow, and after playing outside, it was time for some indoor fun, so that meant one of our favorite things to do on snowy days...bake!
Oh look....another muffin recipe. Yeah, it seems these days snow and muffins go hand in hand in our house. With the first flakes, I start to crave them, and it won't subside until I have some warm from the oven to munch on. Plus, we needed something sweet to go with our party spread during the game.
If you love coffee cake, you will enjoy these as much as we did. Moist cake, a hint of apple and a crumb topping that's out of this world. In fact, I could eat an entire bowl of that topping by itself. Seriously. Just hand me a spoon.
Make a batch of these on the weekend when you have more time, and you have breakfast all week long. They are great for on the go too. Mr. E took them to work several days after I made them. They go perfectly with your cup of morning coffee, or a tall glass of milk for the kids.
I can't say I enjoy snow. But I do love the yummy things that come out of the days when it shows up. But I can bake during the Spring and Summer too....so those can show up any time soon!
