What a mouthful! The description of last Saturday's muffin sounds so complicated. Really it was such a mellow flavour, with the honey dates (all the way from Iran into my little kitchen!) adding some sweetness to the rich cornmeal batter. I liked that the cornmeal wasn't overpowering, but it gave the body of the muffin some depth. I had never browned butter before, but it was great.
Got me to thinking about the nutritional content of my muffins. Someone called last week and wanted to know if there were any low-fat muffins, and what the calorie count is. Well no, I don't do any spesific 'low-fat' recipes - thats just not how I roll! By focusing on fresh fruits and real flavours, the muffins are really flavourful and satisfying, and are a lot lower-cal than most store bought (or cafe) muffins.
These muffins only used 1/4 cup of brown butter per dozen, and two tablespoons of honey (plus the dates lent some sweetnes). Where am I going with all this ranting?
Basically I think that the nutty butter flavour came across really well, and without any refined sugar, these were pleanty sweet. Home made is best ;)
