Muffin Toppings
"I keep this little list in my recipe drawer, so much easier than searching through my recipe books each time I make muffins. When baking your favourite muffins a sprinkling of one of these simple to make toppings makes for a nice touch. Well worth the few extra minutes it takes to prepare. Varying the toppings on a batch of muffins is an easy way to add variety to your serving tray."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Nut Topping, in small bowl, add and mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup walnuts finely chopped, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, sprinkle on muffins just before putting muffins in to bake.
Step 2
Streusel Topping, in small bowl, add and mix together 1/4 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons butter, sprinkle on muffins just before baking. NOTE: Many recipes call for adding and cutting in small cubes of cold butter, for me when making Streusel topping for muffins I simple add softened butter, cut it in with a pastry blender but generally I use my finger tips to get a nice crumble. Quick, easy and works for me!
Step 3
Sugar and Cinnamon Topping, in small bowl, add and mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 1 teaspoons cinnamon and sprinkle on top of muffins before putting muffins in the oven to bake.
