Microwave Cappuccino Muffins

Welcome back to EetrsObsessions. Again I am doing a post about muffins and hopefully I will have more. This muffin is one or the worst to bake. They take all the ingredients in the house and they don't come out of the pan. But they taste very good. So as always I used a little of the batter and made a small batch in the microwave and as always it worked out perfectly. But when I scaled down this recipe I had some trouble but all in all it worked out.

The ingredients:

For the muffins:

1/4 cup flour + 1 Tbsp

1 Tbsp white sugar

1 Tbsp brown sugar

1/4 tsp instant coffee powder

1/4 tsp baking powder

1/8 tsp cinnamon

1/2 Tbsp beaten egg

1 Tbsp melted butter

2 Tbsp milk

1 Tbsp chocolate chips

For the topping:

1-2 tsp flour

1/2 Tbsp brown sugar

a pinch of cinnamon

1/2 Tbsp cold butter

For the drizzle:

2 Tbsp confectioners sugar

a splash of milk

The Muffin:

Start by adding the dry ingredients in a bowl ( straight sided bowls work well and look very nice).

Whisk it together.

Add the wet ingredients.

Whisk until smooth and add the chocolate chips. The first time I took the photos for this recipe I forgot the chocolate chip but if you do it still tastes very good.

The Topping:

Add all the ingredients to a bowl. 

With a pastry blender combined the ingredients until the butter is in pea sized lumps.

Add the topping ( or streusel ) to the batter.

The Drizzle:

Microwave for one minute. Then mix the glaze with a spoon of whisk and drizzle it on top. After all that work you are done this tastes amazing so I hope you enjoy this recipe.

Microwave Chocolate Chip Muffins

As I said I am making more recipes like the corn bread. I will have even more recipes where I take a traditional recipe and make it a single serving cooked in the microwave. Also I want to thank Jennifer White who sent me these handmade handleless mugs ( also called tea bowls )  that were baked in her kiln. She gave me six of them and they are all beautifully made. I plan on using them a lot especially because they are made of clay. The significance of them being clay is that cake, muffins, and brownies cook better.

The Ingredients:

1/4 cup flour

1 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp white sugar
1/4 tsp baking powder
3 tsp milk
1Tbsp melted butter
1 Tbsp beaten egg
1/8 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 Tbsp chocolate chips

Add the dry ingredients to a mug or bowl.

Whisk all the dry ingredients together.

Add the wet ingredients.

Whisk that together.

Stir in the chocolate chips.

Microwave for 1 minute. And your done! Just a minute or two and you have breakfast.

The mugs:

These are the mugs that I got they are hand made by Jennifer White and baked in her kiln which is a wonderful gift. Here are the pictures:

Microwave Corn Bread.

Today I have single serving microwave cornbread. This was an accidental recipe that was made when we had spare corn bread batter and I thought " What would happen if I put this in the microwave" so I did and it came out better than the baked version. I actually have been doing this with almost any recipe we make like muffins or cookies. Hopefully more recipes like this will be coming. 

The ingredients: 

1/4 cup + 1 TBSP flour
2 TBSP corn meal
1 TBSP sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
1 TBSP oil
1 TBSP of beaten egg.

Start by whisking together the flour, corn meal, sugar, baking powder, and salt .

Add the milk, oil, and egg.

Whisk together the ingredients until you have a batter.

Microwave for one minute. And your done! Top with honey butter or eat plain. 

Heart cookies

In honor of Valentines Day I have made heart cookies. Originally I was going to make stained glass cookies but I misunderstood how, and thought that you melted down Jolly Ranchers and poured the candy into the baked cookies luckily my mom told me my mistake. But I didn't even melt the candy down yet so that was lucky. After that I made a second batch that didn't have holes in them and made sandwich cookies with jam, marshmallow fluff, and ganache as filling.

The Ingredients:
1/2 cup flour
1TBSP + 1 tsp corn starch
A pinch of salt
1/2 stick ( 1/4 cup) butter
3 TBSP sugar
1 tsp vanilla

Start by adding the salt, flour, and corn starch to a bowl.

Whisk the flour mixture together.

Next add the butter, sugar, and vanilla to a bowl.

And beat it for 20 seconds or until fluffy.

Add the butter mixture to the flour mixture.

And mix with a fork until a dough forms.

Lay out a sheet of wax paper 

Place the dough on the wax paper and flatten into a disk.

Put another piece of wax paper on top of the dough and roll it out to a 1/4-1/2 inch thickness.

With a large heart ( or any shaped ) cookie cutter.

And then cut a smaller heart shaped hole in the middle.

Place the cookies on a baking sheet.

Top the raw cookies with colored sugar.

bake for 7-10 minutes.

Let the baked cookies cool for a few minutes and then remove from the pan and on to a cooling rack.
If you skip the step where you cut the smaller hole then you can add your choice of filling and have delicious sandwich cookies.
