Well, maybe toffee baking bits would be unusual to some people, but I nearly always have them on hand. Even the coffee glaze uses just a couple teaspoons of leftover coffee.
An interesting feature of this recipe is the Cake Spice -- a dry spice mixture which Jocelyn makes and keeps on hand in a jar to use in baking. It seems like it might give a warm fall and winter flavor to these muffins.
These muffins would make a nice kitchen gift. The coffee glaze and the sprinkle of chocolate mini chips (alternatively, I think chocolate jimmies would also work well) make them a little bit fancy.
I've learned that I can trust Jocelyn's recipes. She is an amazing and prolific baker who has never steered me wrong yet.

I just may try these for some of the kitchen gift recipients on my Christmas list!
Well it sure is pretty! And it sounds unusual enough to make me want to try it and "common" enough to make it sound safe. ☺️ Oh to sit down and enjoy a cup of coffee and a muffin this chilly rainy morning.
ReplyDeleteOh wouldn't that be nice? Wish we could enjoy coffee and a muffin together, Vee! I think I will try making some of these.
ReplyDeleteThey certainly do sound interesting!! I'm not a big chocolate chip fan for muffins, I'm afraid. But with the added spices, etc., they might be really tasty. I made my usual Blueberry Bran muffins this morning for breakfast. They hit the spot. I guess I need to branch out and try something new! LOL. Let us know how they turn out.
