Author Notes
Kind of a scone... shaped like a muffin. Modified from my own earlier recipe for chocolate nut scones. Easier to make in muffin forms and with a zing of peanut butter with the undertones of spices. —Brian Coppola

- topping
-
1/2 cup

1/4 cup

Directions
-
Combine and mix the dry scone mix ingredients in a large bowl.
-
Add the eggs to the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, then add the melted butter and the vanilla, and once again mix thoroughly.
-
Prepare the topping by combining all the ingredients except for the nuts.
-
Scoop 1/2 c of the scone mix into muffin wrappers in a tin. Press the mixture tightly into the form, which should result in the wrapper being about 3/4 full.
-
Add 1 teaspoon of the topping and spread over the top of each. Sprinkle additional nuts and spread into the topping.
-
Bake at 375 F for 25 minutes. Remove from the tins immediately and cool before storing them. I wrap mine individually in Saran and then put them in gallon bags before refrigerating. They keep a long time and travel well.
