This weekâs Tuesdays with Dorie recipe comes from Baking with Dorie. Morning Bundt Cake sounded wonderful until I realised that 1. I don’t own a full-sized bundt pan and 2. I have given away my mini bundt pans (in a fit of equipment organisation, where I was ruthless about what I actually use most). Also, on Sunday, I ran a half-marathon (10 minute course PB!) and when I remembered that it was a TWD week – late on the same day – it was all I could do to drag myself to the basement to get my muffin tins – so, morning muffins it was!
This would also work well as a loaf, I think – a slice with butter would be an excellent autumnal breakfast! But these muffins hit the spot the day after my race when, curiously, I was hungrier than I was right after I ran. I thought I might be sick of carbs after a 3 day carb load but these were the exception đ
This recipe contains all sorts of “morning” ingredients – granola, yoghurt, dried fruit (and nuts if you like, I didn’t use) and citrus along with some warming spices like cinnamon and all spice. I omitted the cardamon as it’s not my favourite flavour. I made 1/2 the recipe for 12 muffins, using a 1/4 cup cookie scoop to portion them out. I subbed in lemon zest and flesh for the orange or tangerine the recipe called for and used lemon yoghurt as that’s what I had on hand. These were light and fluffy and not too sweet (half the recipe called for 150g or 3/4 cup sugar but I used 100g or 1/2 cup and that was plenty as there is also honey in there). The perfect autumn breakfast!

We loved this recipe. These muffins look so fresh and delicious for a morning breakfast, a snack, or really anytime. I made a note in my book to try them as muffins…I’m sort of thinking my book at this point is part Dorie and part everyone from this group as I note all the names of you all and your suggestions beside the recipe in the book. It’s just full of great ideas…this is definitely one of them because I can make a batch, freeze some and they can be the gift that keeps on giving, so to speak. Lovely photos.
What a great adaptation of the recipe! Especially if you don’t have enough family members to help you devour a full cake. Thanks for sharing your take on this recipe.
This recipe is perfect as muffins. They look so good.
Well done on the half marathon, Mardi.
Your adaptation to make the morning muffins work brilliantly. Now you mention about having these after a half-marathon, it should work equally well post-workout. Not only for breakfast!
Congratulations on the half marathon! Good idea on the muffins. I am going to half to learn how to minify as I am down to cooking for two.
they made perfect muffins and I like the loaf idea as well. congrats on your half marathon finish!
Great idea to make muffins! I used all lemon as well since my oranges aren’t yet ready to harvest.
First of all, congratulations on the half marathon! I like your idea of muffins..I debated on doing the same just for ease of sharing if nothing else.
This was so good as s bundt. One of my favorites so far. But what a good idea to make muffins instead. Breakfast in hand.
