I’m leading a Friday morning meeting and offered to bring breakfast for everyone. Last time, I brought quiche, but one person is vegetarian and didn’t eat it. This time is like to also bring muffins. Do any of you have any favorite muffin recipes? Easy ones are good, but I’m mostly going for delicious here. I’m up for promotion this summer, so I want everything as good as possible. |

I love baking and baking for people and making things.
Baking for the office is a bad career move. It may be unfair, but people will never shut up about it and it will make you seem feminine and weak. That said, thomas keller’s blueberry muffin recipe is involved but delicious. |
| I’m the PP and I want to say that the right thing to do here career-wise is cater the breakfast, but only if the company is paying for it. |
+1 I'd do what a man would do, and that's go to Panera and get bagels, fruit and coffee. |
|
That’s not true. I am a senior manage and have baked and my team is so impressed that I have time to bake. They love it and fawn over my muffins, cookies, cake pops, etc.
But people also like Panera. I order a few trays of pastries, cookies with fruit and coffee and my team loves that also. |

This NYT blueberry muffin recipe is extremely popular for good reason:

It is very good. I agree. |
| Honestly, several members of the exec team at my organization are passionate bakers - men included. I don’t think you need to avoid baking — but make it clear that it’s your hobby, not just that you did it to “take care of them” if that makes sense. |
Maybe depends on industry but I’m another vote to not do homemade if wanting higher exec position. It shouldn’t be but same reason to not be one to get coffee for others unless it is a rotation schedule and everyone does same thing. |
People on this board just love their NYT recipes don’t they? |
I agree. |
| TJ's banana muffin or pumpkin muffin box mix - consistently fluffy good. |
Here is my great grandma's muffin recipe. She perfected it to a tee. 1/3 cup shortening, frozen 1/2 cup sugar 1 whole egg (including shell) 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 2 teaspoons ground pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 1 gallon strawberry milk Please contact me for more info. This is all I can share on the inter-webs. My husband Troy Aikman is yelling at me because the muffins are burning. |
