muffin madness continues

Hello as you know i have set myself a challenge to cook all the recipes in my 50 muffins cookbook so here is an update as to how i'm getting along.

I have done the basic muffins which were very well received and the chocolate double cream ones were to die for.
I then progressed onto recipe 2: Sticky toffee now I used salted caramel spread as a cheaper option to dulce de leche but the taste was just as good.

After this we move on to recipe 3: Marzipan muffins. I used almond flavouring and yellow marzipan the first batch i used balls of marzipan and the second i cut it into smaller chunks and stirred it into the mix. The first method produces a neater muffin but the second type has a better taste, so i'm told by my willing testers. I also used a pecan as almonds were more expensive.
My favourite ones so far were number 4 : Carrot cake muffins.  left off the zest of the orange and used orange flavouring again to save money but not compromising on taste. I did make proper frosting as i feel you can't scrimp on flavour here.
So the next batch will be jam doughnut muffins i will update you all again soon.
