Tuesdays with Dorie was started by Laurie at Quirky Cupcake (one of my favourite bloggers) in an intention to do that thing we all rarely do- bake all of the recipes in a cookbook we own.
 
Laurie received “Baking: From My Home To Yours” by Dorie Greenspan as a gift and challenged herself to bake all of the recipes in it. She invited others to join her and suddenly many of my other favourite bloggers were showing with TWD rounds. So thank you all for letting me join in.
Here is my first round of Tuesdays with Dorie baking. This week the recipe is “Pumpkin Muffins” from page #13 picked by lovely Kelly at Sounding my Barbaric Gulp. I admit to two tweaks- I substituted dried cranberries for the raisins (only like them in a few things) and added some pumpkin seeds to the sunflower seed topping. Nothing too extreme- just personal preferences.
I will not be reprinting the recipe here but let me encourage you to go out and purchase this book (or at the very least get it from your local library) so that you can enjoy the beauty of it and its wealth of fabulous recipes. I have had a copy for almost two years now. It’s a favourite- I enjoy reading through it and have baked from it often. Dorie is delightful, reliable and accessible. She has been a good friend to food bloggers everywhere and writes her own blog titled “In the Kitchen and On The Road with Dorie”which is a good read and has been on my blogroll for some time.
I am glad I wasn’t too late to to join the Tuesdays with Dorie baking group. They are capping the membership on October 31st so if you are interested in participating run right on over and sign up now.

Still smiling!! Your muffins are perfect!
Your muffins look gorgeous, and so delicious!
I loved these muffins and think the craisins would be a lovely substitute for the raisins! Yours look delicious!!

Welcome to TWD and CEiMB! Glad that you joined! Your muffins look terrific.
Hi Gabi, Your muffins look terrific, and I love all the seeds you put on top, it makes them even more appealing!
Welcome to TWD! I didn’t understand the seed thing, either … Oh, the mysteries of Dorie. 😉
Ah Gabi . . . marvelous muffins. Dorie is just one of the very best and that particular book is really one of the best I own. I’ve baked from it many times and then used it as a reference many other times. It really is good reading . . . and eating!
Your muffins turned out great! I am sure the seeds add a nice crunch!
