A couple a weeks ago, Paul and I received two jars of Lotus Biscoff spreads from two kind friends. These were their going away presents and we really intended to pack both jars in our luggages and wait till we get to the Lion City before trying them out. However... we were obviously not
marshmallow babies and we opened one jar the moment we got home. It was almost bed time but I couldn't help it. With a teaspoon, we each got a scoop and tried this much talked about
Lotus Biscoff Spread for the first time. I tell you, it was delicious! No wonder a lot of people are crazy about it.
If you love graham cookies then you'll definitely go crazy over this too. One lick and it brought me back to my childhood days where Mommy would pack those teddy graham cookies for me. I love the rough powdery texture of the cookie with a hint of a cinnamon. I was so excited with the Biscoff spread that I forced Mommy and Pan to try it out too.
The next day, I got inspired to bake as I had two boxes of really cute pink Baking Cups courtesy of
Paper Chic Studio, your one-stop shop for your baking and party needs! I love pink and was so happy to receive a package filled with all these! Pink straws, pink cups and pink favor bags! I was in pink heaven, I tell you. I love how eco-friendly
Paper Chic Studio's products are. Obviously, all are made with paper so they're all biodegradable. You can read their story
here. I think it's high time we always consider our environment in whatever we do as pollution and trash are serious issues we have to face NOW.
Going back to the muffins, thankfully Mommy keeps a well-stocked pantry and it was complete with all the necessary items to make my Biscoff Muffins.
With the help of Paul, we made two batches of muffins as we carefully measured each ingredients, sifted the flour to remove the lumps, melted the butter, added in almost the entire bottle of Biscoff spread and whisked all these together. Paul has instantly gained macho biceps after baking these muffins!
Off they went to the oven as we prayed hard that they'll turn out okay. As soon as I smelled the sweet, cinnamon-y Biscoff aroma I knew our muffins will be ready in no time. Don't they look so pretty in my polkadot pink cups? They'd make great party favors too!
We served our muffins during dinner that evening and everyone loved it! I also shared it with fellow bloggers Spanky, Roch and Richie the next day. I hope they liked it too! People say, do not judge a book by its cover but I think having a pretty muffin cup makes the muffin even more mouthwatering, agree?
Paul loves the Biscoff spread very much that he added more on top to make it extra yummy!
