common recipe questions
Can I use a different type of nut?
Yes, you can use walnuts, almonds, or omit the nuts altogether.
What can I substitute for semisweet baking chocolate?
You can use chocolate chips or a dark chocolate bar.
Is it necessary to sift the flour, salt, and baking powder?
Sifting helps to aerate the flour and evenly distribute the baking powder and salt, but you can whisk them together as an alternative.
How do I know when the muffins are done baking?
The muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Can I add other ingredients to the muffin batter?
Yes, you can add ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, or dried fruit.
What can I use instead of vanilla chips?
You can use white chocolate chips or omit them.
How should I store leftover muffins?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Can I prepare the muffin batter ahead of time?
It's best to bake the muffins immediately after mixing the batter for the best texture.
Is there a way to make the caramel glaze thicker?
For a thicker glaze, cook it for a longer time or add a bit more cream and sugar.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
