Hazelnut Praline muffins

This lovely recipe is from the second Hummingbird Bakery book entitled 'Cake Days'. Usually I'm a cupcake sort of girl but I have a penchant for praline and these beauties caught my eye. Also, muffins do not require intricate and careful icing so are perfect when you don't have as much time to spare.

The recipe is very quick and simple to make, it took me about 20 minutes from beginning to the muffins being in the oven. I was a bit dubious about the amount of sugar they suggested you sprinkle over the top of the muffins before baking but as it turns out it has made the tops lovely and crisp.

My office are in for a treat tomorrow!
