PART 1

Sweet Escapes

A sweet muffin is a thing of beauty.

From the familiar flavors of crisp apple and buttery walnuts, to the more exotic flavors of saffron and champagne, a sweet muffin will make any morning brighter, any snack time more exciting, and any dessert delightfully different. In this part you’ll explore a whole new world of muffins that have a decidedly sweet side.

These sweet muffins may feature a fancy marbled interior or be flavored with creamy mascarpone cheese. Some of them have a surprise filling stuffed right in the middle, while others are studded with bits of tangy fruit, shredded coconut, or everyone’s favorite—chocolate! They may have a buttery crumble, a shiny glaze, or they may be perfect just as they are—golden brown and plump from the oven.

So, forget what you think you know about muffins and dive into a world of exotic sweet escapes!
