"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.

Nut Topping: I made this as written using it to top apple muffins. Just a few simple ingredients made such a difference, adding a wonderful texture to the top of the muffins. This topping complimented the muffins so well, adding extra flavor and crunch, not mention how much more appealing the muffins looked with the topping added. I will be trying the other 2 flavors on my next batch!
