201 Muffins

By Gregg R. Gillespie
Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers - 2001

This sounds like it might produce a great muffin--the combination of banana and chocolate chip is promising. But this recipe produced a merely serviceable muffin, one that I won't clamber to make again soon. It was sturdy in a good way, and had a fine flavor, but it was not remarkable in any way. The kids let them sit after the first meal of them.

This scone had a good flavor from the nutmeg and the whole rolled oats, but the texture was way too crumbly. My kids' plates were a heap of crumbs, and they couldn't grip the scone to eat it before it fell apart. Adults can gingerly pick it up but, still, it's not a nice, firm scone that you can take a neat mouthful of.
