cheddar cheese muffin

hello! i just got back from my vacation last thursday. i do have some photos to share with you, but it will be on next week's post. i haven't got the chance to finish sorting it. and this morning, freshly from my oven, i have some nice treat for you all. cheese muffin.

i am pretty happy to know that now i can make muffin with good result constantly. this muffin is so simple and it is completed with cheddar cheese. the cake itself is sweet but with the saltiness of the diced cheddar inside and grated cheddar on top, it gives the lovely flavor i would always miss and fond of. i think Dunkin Donut's used to have this kind of muffin in their store here. i love making muffin, it's so simple but delicious. with this basic cake batter, you can add anything you want inside the cake. such as fruits or anything savories like smoked ham or tuna and you can also add some veggies in it if you like.

i intended to make a matcha latte to accompany my muffin. but my matcha latte tastes completely ugly, i think my matcha powder isn't originally a matcha powder because even the color looks bad. i should buy a new one, the famous taiwanese one perhaps. so, in order to keep my self happy, i make another drink for me - a hot chocolate. it's easy and practical and always delicious. who wouldn't love it on a Monday morning breakfast?!
