Peanut and Peanut butter; The muffin equivalent of double denim?


Speakeasy continues to kill it on the muffin front.


The fact that I have to walk past this cafe 4 days a week pretty much guarantees that I will sample at least 4 muffins, all of which will be blog worthy!  
And the fact that I am yet to double up on flavours is equal parts disappointing (as some of them have been amazing!) and awe inspiring (surely it will happen soon?)!


Of particular note this week was the Peanut and Peanut Butter concoction pictured above.

Though not a particular fan of either flavour I had to give it a try and was blown away!
If I was to say anything negative at all about this muffin it would be that it was a little on the large size.... 
Usually this is hardly a problem but my muffin tummy is currently slightly compromised by a growing baby and as I am still unable to leave a morsel of muffin uneaten it did make for an uncomfortable afternoon at my desk.
All completely worth it!

Texturally this muffin was a gorgeous mix of crunchy raw peanuts, tacky peanut butter and what in other cases I would call dry muffin batter.  For some reason all of these elements worked in its favour!

All things considered:
Presentation ('cause we all judge a muffin by its top....) - 3/5
First bite - 3.5/5
Flour: Flavour ratio - 4/5
Inspired Architecture of Flavour - 4.5/5
Overall muffin scoffing Atmosphere - 4/5
Service with a Smile - 5/5
Bang for buck$ - 5/5

It's a 4/5!!!!


Lessons learnt:
Though I originally would have likened this muffin to the flavour equivalent of double-denim, Speakeasy, like Chloe (below)...rocks it!
