S'Muffins

These muffins are next up in my S'mores quest for the Summer. They are  moist, flavorful, and delicious, and not too sweet, which I like.  The addition of chocolate chips rounds out this muffin nicely, and doesn't make it over-the-top sweet.  The marshmallow bits melted away and disappeared during baking, but we'll give them big points for trying.  And the crumble topping?  We LOVE the crumble topping.  My youngest Hungry Puppy ate the topping right off, then pushed the rest aside.  Fabulous.  Original recipe found here.

S'Mores Muffins

Muffins:
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup graham flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 7 full sheets)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup canola oil
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3/4 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup Jet Puffed Marshmallow Bits

Crumb Topping:
1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs (about 2 full sheets)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 400F.  Spray 6 jumbo muffin cups (or about 12 regular size muffin cups) with cooking spray, or line them with paper liners.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, graham flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  In a separate bowl, combine the buttermilk, oil, egg, and vanilla extract.  Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.  Stir in the chocolate chips and marshmallow bits.

For the crumb topping, in a small bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, graham cracker crumbs, and cinnamon.  Add the melted butter and toss together with a fork until crumbly.

Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full.  Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the batter.  Bake for about 20 minutes (about 15 minutes for regular size muffins) or until a toothpick in the center comes out with moist crumbs, or clean.  Remove muffins from the oven and let cool for 2 to 3 minutes in the pan.  Remove muffins from the pan and place on a cooling rack.  Makes 6 jumbo muffins, or about 12 regular size muffins.

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
