Mmmmmmmuffins! I remember back in the day when I was a kid going inside a mall to a bakery shop named exactly that and all they sold were muffins. That was the first time I ever tasted a cheese muffin, and every time I make these it brings back a bit of nostalgia.
Anyways, enough of me whining about days gone by. Now it's time to pass along new memories to my kids! Hopefully, your sweeties will fall in love with this muffin too! I based the recipe off of a basic muffin recipe and just added in the cheese. You can try many flavours with this all-purpose recipe like blueberries, nuts, banana, etc. etc. etc. Yummers!

Best Crumb Cake Recipe Cakeboss Inspired Createry Styled
So for this Thanksgiving I thought about making that famous Cakeboss crumb cake that everyone has seen on one of their episodes (remember the one where that lady drove all the way from who know where to get an order of crumb cake that was to die for?).
Well, I searched for the recipe and could not find it. Then I ran into a book called "America's test kitchen" and their was a New York Style crumb cake that I sure was going to be a hit. Then life took over and I lost the recipe. Soooo.... after many crumb cake recipes and test tries I finally nailed down my own recipe for crumb cake. It's light, buttery, sweet, and got that bit of caramelized butter and brown sugar flavour. Dense enough to cut and pick up, but lightly crumbs in your mouth after a bite. Distinctively 2 layered, you can serve as is but I added some brown sugar glaze drizzle on top and powdered sugar for flair! Enjoy all you cake lovers out there!
