From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...While it may be wretched excess, I think a holiday breakfast or brunch is incomplete without a coffee cake or muffins on the table. Butter, after all, needs a vehicle on which it can be spread. I watch what I eat for most of the year, and go so far as to lose 5 pounds just before the holidays begin. Then my reserve crumbles and I start to eat foods I wouldn't normally allow to cross my lips. When January rolls around I have, of course, regained the 5 pounds I lost back in October. Now, the cynics out there will note that I've lost and gained the same 5 pounds for 50 years running, and because everyone knows cynics have a mean streak, they'll also gleefully do the math for anyone who will pay attention to them. Ignore them. The optimists, however, will see Mrs. Feeziwig and say only that she "knew how to keep Christmas well." Really well. The recipes in today's round-up are for the optimists among you. They have all been tested and eaten with complete abandon and wouldn't be here if they weren't delicious. I hope you find something here that tempts you. Here are the recipes for some of my favorite coffee cakes and muffins.
Now I know how to occupy my time once I officially go on winter break...baking all of these delicious cakes would be such a pleasure (and then eating them would be even more delightful!) The raspberry cream cheese would be the first on my to-bake list. Thank you for sharing with me. I hope you have a blessed Sunday!
Hi Oh my goodness. And I mean Goodness....Yum. I love everything. I love to bake this time of year. In fact, Every month I have Cupcake Sunday at My Cozy Corner. Thank you so much for visiting me. I love to read the comments. xo Betty

What a lovely collection of coffee cake recipes! I've already tried several of them and see several more I can't wait to try. Just in time for Christmas morning. Thanks, Mary.
I probably gained weight already Mary looking at your coffee cakes. I can't pick just one but all of them ahhah. thanks for the roundup and for the giveaway! Happy SUnday!
This post has just reminded me of what I was missing in the plans for our Christmas morning table- some kind of sweet treat! The coffee cakes look awesome...now to decide which one.
Oh my gosh--everything looks so delicious!!! I hope I don't gain weight from looking at it because I'm on Atkins..lol I'm your newest follower and so nice to meet you. Thank you for coming to visit my blog! XO
Thank you for coming to my blog a while back. We went on a trip and I am now catching up with all the posts I did not read. I enjoyed looking at your blog. One of the breads I used to love, growing up in France, was what we call “pain d’épices” or spice bread. I wonder if this Belgian Pom Koec bread would be something like it?
Would love to wake up to any one of these goodies! I'm trying to loose some weight before the holidays and yet you are tempting me with all these treats!
Wonderful holiday breakfast additions, what feasts! :-)
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely decadent! I think the holidays are the perfect time to indulge!
