Cookie Dough Mini Muffins

Brilliant – mini muffin tins! I am definitely going to make some of these for our Father’s Day brunch this weekend! They look super cute in those mini muffin tins 🙂

I should totally be embarassed to admit it. But I have 2 stuffed toys that I LOVE so much I can’t fall asleep without them! (picture here: http://ibakewhoeats.wordpress.com/2011/05/16/all-the-randomness-at-once/)
I’ve had them since I was 5! And they pretty much grew up with me (though I grew, they didn’t :D) I still have them. When my brother and I were kids, we reconstructed our wardrobe into a ‘mansion’ for them with barbie furnitures.
OKAY. Enough of my rambling. am getting embarassed. Anyway, LOVE this idea of making the mini-muffins! And I totally agree that beans COMPLETELY okay for desserts!

To haters: Think Japanese desserts, Chinese desserts… our (or rather my)ancestors didn’t create ‘stupid’ beany desserts. Beany desserts are EXTREMELY delicious. So there!

Mini muffins are the best!!! 😀 Yummy recipe!

Trying beans in dessert is on my agenda this week. Do the beans lend any taste difference at all? Can’t wait to try!

I agree about beany desserts! The Japanese have some pretty awesome desserts with sweet red bean paste – anko – and you wouldn’t know that’s what it is unless you asked someone! Otherwise it’s just delicious. Oh well, maybe ignorance is bliss when it comes to the beany desserts… or at least until after they’ve eaten. 🙂 There are so many recipes online for bean flour desserts – and you can’t seriously argue that there’s much of a difference between those recipes and the ones you come up with… except yours are more moist because of the cooked beans and more delicious. 😀

I had a pink baby blanket AND a favourite stuffed animal – both in my possession since I was born (i.e. my parents’ first gifts to me?). I so cleverly named him “Bear” (although I could only say “Beah” at first), and he’s super worn out now, with chipped little eyes and patches of missing fur… Yep, he’s been well-loved.

I mentioned in Averie’s post that I made the choc chip blondies and loved them, as did my non-healthy eating dad, and I’ve since made the Snickerdoodle ones and they’ve had the same (hugely appreciative) reception 🙂 I don’t really get the big deal … why is it any stranger than anything else we eat? If it tastes good and works well I don’t understand the problem.

I just got some silicone mini muffin cases as a gift a couple of days ago, I can’t wait to try these 🙂

Muttsee is so cute! I had a stuffed dog, an Andrex puppy, that I just called “Good Dog” (aw, sweet li’l me :D). I looked after all of my toys, so although it went everywhere with me it’s still in good condition, yay!

I think this is my first comment on your blog, so I’d just like to say thank you, I enjoy it very much and I really appreciate all of the work, effort and time that goes into making such a great source of fun, information and yumliciousness 😀

Beans in desserts aren’t dumb! I made a smoothie yesterday with chickpeas, and it was fantastic.
My favorite stuffed animal was my Simba lion, and he came to the hospital when I had surgery at age 5. He even got his own hospital band!

I had a pig stuffed animal that I loved so much that his stuffing was popping out. I still have him!

What is funny is that I never gave him a name — he was always just called “the pig”

mmm bite size desserts (or anything on a stick) are the best for parties!

As a child I had a baby blanket (named Pink, for the color. original, i know). Still have it, but she’s most likely stored in the closet with my other baby things.

Awww Muttsee helloooo!! I had a HUGE stuffed animal collection- loved them all!! Sadly when we got Buddy he stole them all one by one and buried them in the garden…but I managed to hide a few from him hehe! 😉

And I can’t believe someone said that was ‘stupid’. I really dislike that word anyway, but that is RUDE! They clearly haven’t tried your amazing blondies 🙂

I excite in the fact that by eating desserts with beans in them, I’m getting more protein and nutrients! Or, it’s just another reason to eat one of my favorite foods: beans 🙂 I’m weird, though, knowing my favorite foods are kale, beans, tofu, nut butter….

Trying these ASAP, they look delicious!

I’m actually crazy about the bean recipes; I’m a fan of red bean, vanilla bean, coffee bean and cocoa bean (never had mung/green bean though) lotus bean is pretty good too I guess

Favorite stuffed animal? Not really; but I remember being crazy about getting a fluffy my come here puppy.

Mmmm the mini muffins look delish! And you know I’m a fan of beans in desserts! I’m a huge fan of your blondie batter, and not just because I’m blonde 🙂

Yep, in Japan red bean paste is put in almost every dessert. It’s not my favorite but it’s not bad. And soy? Have you tried Soyjoy bars? Delicious!

Favorite stuffed animal… I loved them all. I still do 🙂 .

Anything that is gooey and cookie dough like is perfection in my eyes!!! And the beans make me think it’s super healthy, EVEN better!!! lol

I’m so into mini muffins.. it ain’t even funny 😉 Growing up I wasn’t really attached to any stuffed animals. My schnauzer, Ziggy, was my pride and joy though, does that count?

All your beanie desserts are making me green with envy!!! I *wish* I could eat beans so I could healthify my favourite foods!!!

And would you believe I own a Muttsee (Except I spelled it Mutsy because I was lazy when I was 7). He still sleeps on the end of my bed. I saved up for him for ages and ages. I had a bit of a giggle when I saw his identical twin on your post! Mine is a little more threadbare than yours, in part because I’ve had 2 kitties over the years who have adopted him as their own and played many years of piano on his belly 😉

I love mini muffins! So cute and yummy!

Nope! Never!

Hi CCK! Love your recipes. Made the blondies this weekend and THREE batches of your Good Girl Vegan Fudge with my own homemade coconut butter. SO GOOD! I can’t wait to try more. I had a blanket that I slept with … pretty much until I got married! Now it is kept in my sentimental box 🙂

I had a favorite stuffed Mouse! I named it Mousey :]

I say don’t knock something until you try it! I would never say that beans in desserts is dumb. It’s just the crazy type of thing I would love! I have saved several of your bean dessert recipes but haven’t tried them yet. I think I will try this one first b/c it will be less tempting to eat an entire pan of cookie dough pie than all the mini muffins. As a child, I was never into stuffed animals or blankets, but I did have a favorite doll. I even remember the day my Mom bought her for me. She told me I could have one toy and I picked a doll with a soft body that looked like she was wearing pajamas, and a plastic head. She wanted me to pick a game or something that would challenge me, even if it was a potato head. Nope. I had to have her. I had her for years until she finally just disappeared. 🙁

Yummy, I have a recipe for chocolate chip muffins but they always turn out gooey and cookie dough-like so at the market I label them, “chocolate chip cookie dough muffins”. I’m glad I’m not the only one!
