I LOVE PANERA BREAD! It is a great place to eat. It is a restaurant with a wonderful menu, lots of choices, and reasonable prices! This weeekend, I found another reason to LOVE Panera!
This weekend, my husband and I went, (as a part of me losing the NCAA Tourney Bracket bet) and we ate. As we were leaving, we got a few pastries to take home. Who could resist?
(I did have Whole Grain bread and a WONDERFUL GREEK salad, so I thought that a bite of a cookie wouldn't kill me.)
Anyway, Anthony got a Muffie. Okay, so I'm sure you're asking the same thing that we wondered....what's a muffie? It is a hybrid of a muffin and cookie. I don't think that Panera has a trademark on the name, but it is genius.
For those of you who are Seinfield fans....there is finally something that is like the top of the muffin - muffin caps! NO STUMPS HERE! He got a banana nut muffie and I tried a bite.
I got home and immediately I wanted to recreate it in my kitchen. So, with a couple recipes to look off of: my grandmother's famous choc chip cookies, an oatmeal cookie recipe, and a muffin recipe, I combined some of the components and I came up with an oatmeal chocolate chip muffie!
So, congrats to Panera for finding the best of both worlds....a soft moist cookie/muffin top. It's a MUFFIE! Get 'em while you can!
If you can come up with some other muffie combinations, let me know! :)
Since the recipe I came up with this weekend was experimental, once I jot down everything and the measurements, I'll post the recipe.
MUFFIES - YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you had any muffies?

You're too funny, you're starting to sound like Rachel Ray!!!
oh i'm waiting for the recipe!!! i try to stay out of panera, there are about 3 of them an equal distance from my home and i'd be living in there given half a chance as i live on carbs. ; )
I know how it is...being addicted to carbs and all.
I made a new recipe tonight and it turned out pretty good.
I will post the muffies recipe tonight....keep your eyes peeled for it! :)
Make sure that I get some...please and thank you.
you are too funny, Charlie. If you ever get back to the library I will bring you some. It seems like you've been gone for years!!!!! HAHA
