I’m on a savory muffin kick.
A mission to take everything I love (besides cake) and put it into muffin form. First it was the pistachio leek muffins (one of my favorite recipes to date) and now…these.
Oh heavens. They are actually creamy. A creamy, soft, fluffy muffin. One that (miraculously) doesn’t remotely resemble a cupcake because it doesn’t have a speck of sugar in it.
Ooooh whoops. I accidentally drizzled some honey on the very first muffin I ate. Hey sugar, I guess I missed you after all.
But seriously. With our without the honey, (I ate the second one plain – and third, ahem) your face needs to get in on this action.
Walnut Mascarpone Muffins
PRINT Recipe
- 1 1/2 C flour
- 1 t salt
- 1 t baking powder
- 2 eggs
- 2 T butter, melted
- 1/4 C mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 C milk
- 1 C walnuts, roughly chopped (and divided)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, and baking powder.
In another (smaller) bowl, mix the eggs, butter, mascarpone, and milk.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Then stir in the 3/4 C walnuts.
Scoop out the batter into lined muffin tins (about 2-3 tablespoons each). Sprinkle the rest of the walnuts over the muffins.
Bake for 20 minutes. Let cool, then drizzle with honey and enjoy.
…and a little behind the scenes action, because I always think that’s fun. Check out the fuzzy bedhead on my little assistant.
i bet a little sweet cream butter and/or maple syrup would be divine too!
p.s.
I have that hair post nap too. But A rocks it way better
Ha, ha. Love the fuzzy, bed-head look. So adorable!! And these muffins look so delicious! I’ll bet they’d be good with a hot bowl of soup!!
Oh man! That fuzzy bedhead is just too cute.
And those muffins look pretty darn tasty too
Love the behind-the-scenes shot! That fuzzy head is adorable and I love seeing things in the context of real life.
Perhaps you meant 1/2 C milk?
I really did mean 1 and a 1/2 cups!
BEDHEAD!!! omg. omg.
I love that these are a mix between sweet + savory with the honey topping. I bet the cheese makes them so creamy. mmm
Ugh, that bedhead. SO CUTE.
These muffins need to be in my life immediately!
That fluffy little hair-do… That’s kind of what my hair looks like when I wake up, but it’s wayyy less cute than A’s.
Her fluffy little hair! Also, mascarpone is a fun word.
If I didn’t know better I would think that is my 23 month old sitting at that table:) Same hair.
This looks like a nice, simple, delectable muffin. Nut, cheese-what could be better?
That hair! Looks like me.
And anything with mascarpone in it? Haaaaaaaaaaayell yeah.
The hair!! The Honey!! It’s all to much
OK the bedhead is the best thing EVER…when Wes wakes up all fluffy it kind of makes my heart sing.
Oh, and yes…my face needs to get all up in this muffin action!
that baby is the cutest, and these muffins look delectable!
Oh man, her hair kills me – so sweet! These muffins look amazing, too. I love savory baked goods.
Hahaha, her bedhead! Too cute. I think walnuts and muffins are a match made in heaven, and I would never say no to cheese
i love how you use ingredients i know/have and not too many!
That picture is priceless.
What flour could I substitute? Oat?
pistachio leek muffins sound amazing. I love your idea of putting all your favorite foods in muffins. Mine might be garlic-pomegranate, or basil-lemon… hmmm… I might need to work on this some more.
Haha – A’s hair looks like mine pretty much any time of day. My static is out of control!!
Your li’l assistant is so cute!
Love these muffins, esp for a brunch.
