The Williams-Sonoma Collection: Muffins (Williams-Sonoma Collection (New York, N.Y.).)
By Beth Hensperger
Free Press - 2003
Blackberry Muffins : page 38
These muffins, with a few modifications, are fabulous. I took my cues from "Culinary Chronicles" and left the nuts out of the topping and used a cup of sour cream and 1/2 a cup of milk in place of the buttermilk in the batter. I added a bit of brown sugar to both the streusel and the batter. I used butter in the streusel but substituted canola oil for the melted butter in the batter. The resulting muffins were moist, tender, not overly sweet and the recipe really allows the flavor of the blackberries to shine. I think this will also work wonderfully with other berries/fruits and with orange or lime rind.

Chocolate Chip Muffins : page 22
Good muffin. I substituted canola oil for the melted butter--much moister muffin and a little healthier. One and a half times the recipe makes ten large muffins.

Vanilla-Pear Muffins : page 30
Excellent muffin--not overly sweet, lots of fruit and the fruit flavor shines. Happily my pears were just right, firm but really sweet.
