A Glamorous Muffin Photoshoot

Oatmeal Raspberry Muffin

So, what did you do on the weekend? Apparently I lead a very exciting life. I take pictures of muffins.

I've been trying to find the perfect oatmeal muffin recipe. On Sunday I tried one called Quaker's Best Oatmeal Muffins. I added some raspberries because raspberries are yummy. They were pretty good. I'll have to try a few different recipes and then compare them to this one to see if they really are the "best". Although any warm muffin with a sugary, crumbly topping fresh out of the oven is pretty darn great.

Alex said I should take some pictures in a different spot so they didn't always have the same background. I smiled, said thank you for the tip, and then glared at the back of his head as he took one of my muffins and went downstairs. Boys! Don't they know that the dining room gets the best light in the afternoon!?!

Mixing the wet and dry ingredients.

About to add some raspberries.

Cutting some butter into some sugar and oats for the topping.

Ready for the oven.

All done.

This muffin did not last long on that teeny stand. If you know what I mean.

If you have an awesome oatmeal muffin recipe, I'd love to try it!

  18. They look so good. I haven't been gusto enough to make homemade muffins yet...usually stick to blueberry with streusel in a box...I agree with you on the sugary streusel topping. So not as cute and cozy as these look, but they have at least gotten the job done when muffins sounded good. I think I need to bust out a homemade version. These look and sound delicious!

    Blessings,
