That can wait for next week.
Sometimes something happens to change your plans.
My daughter and I were in IKEA this week and I saw this very cool muffin mix, so I had to try.
Okay, I know this is the CAFE and you all bake everything from scratch, but this was so easy I wanted to give it a try. Plus Lemon. I 💗 lemon.
This is the container.
Don't you love the IKEA directions?
All - ALL - you have to do is add a cup of water and shake.
Then you pour directly into the muffin tins.
I added blueberries. Lots and lots of blueberries because muffins never have enough blueberries to make me happy.
Waiting for them to cool so I can sample.

| YUM! |
Happy 3rd (almost 4th) of July! I hope you have blueberries in your future!
I made triple berry muffins yesterday with a new recipe.
ReplyDeleteKITCHEN FAIL!!!!
And I desperately wanted them to be good!
THESE LOOK MARVELOUS!!!!!!
Oh, no, Ruthy! Triple berry muffins should never be a fail. I was having such cravings for triple berry scones a few weeks go. I remember having a really good one, but I can't remember where I had it!
DeleteOkay, amending because that make my memory sound even worse than it is. It wasn't a few weeks ago that I had them somewhere. It was a few years ago. I wanted them recently.
DeleteThese look so wonderful--imagine--with a nice cup of coffee?? Yum!
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I had one (or two), Laurel. But the lemon is so light that I think it would go really well with tea also.
DeleteWe don't always bake things from scratch here at the Cafe! We'll call this a "product review!"
ReplyDeleteAnd now I'm craving blueberry muffins...seriously. I think I have some blueberries in the freezer that need to be used!
Product review works for me. This was really light, so perfect for pairing with fruit. I'd meant to buy some poppy seeds to try lemon poppy muffins. I guess I'll have to go back to IKEA.
DeleteI should mention that they have the same muffins in chocolate. Now that I've had the lemon, and see how light they are, I'm thinking the chocolate might be more like a light cupcake. Definitely worth trying What I liked best is each muffin only has 35 mg of sodium. Usually backed goods are ten times that.
DeleteI agree about the product review. I often share mixes and such! :)
DeleteBlueberry and lemon! My two favorite combos! Now I want muffins too!
ReplyDeleteSorry! But it's such a great combo.
DeleteFollow up.......I stopped and got a blueberry muffin on my way to work lol
DeleteYay for blueberry muffin stops! I hope you enjoyed.
DeleteIKEA has muffin mixes now? I'm gobsmacked. I wonder if ours does? I haven't been to IKEA in years. It's hard to bus too and then quite a hike in from the bus stop which would be brutal in this heat but once I got inside there'd be blissful air conditioning and loads of cool walk miles. And maybe a lemon muffin mix for a reward. Hmmmmmmmmmm......
ReplyDeleteYou can check your store's stock online. Unfortunately, it's not available by mail order.
ReplyDeleteHa! It's available online on the Canadian site but it's $5.99!!!! That's pretty expensive for a batch of muffins, I think. Bet it's a lot cheaper in the states.
DeleteI think it was the same, but it made 12 muffins. If I went out to buy a muffin it would be $3.00 so I figure this is a bargain. ;)
DeleteOh, that made me crave muffins!! Those blueberries look so good!
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying the blueberries this year.
