Week Twenty-Nine: Pear Coffee Cake Muffins

(This week’s (adapted) recipe came from “Martha Stewart’s Baking Handbook”.)

I apologize for this ridiculously short post. Packing and stressing about this move have just gotten the better of me lately. I hope to do a much more in-depth project and post this week. For now, this will have to suffice.

This past weekend was the fourth annual Here Comes Your Weekend Parking Lot Blowout in the parking lot adjacent to Surly Girl Saloon. I’ve volunteered the past four years, and this year one of the organizers, Erin Moore, asked me to bake some breakfast goodies for the set-up crew.

Because they were such a hit at Comfest, I decided to bake the Pear Coffee Cake Muffins again. They’re super easy and I can make them start to finish in about forty minutes, which is good when you have to be at an event at 10 a.m.

Here’s the one sad, lonely photo I took of the muffins. I should have taken pictures of people eating them, but I was worried that would make those lovely volunteers uncomfortable:

They went over very well, especially for the first couple of volunteers who got a still-warm muffin.

I have no clue what I’m baking this week. I’m planning to bake on Wednesday, so I guess I need to make a decision within the next two days!
