It took me quite some time to finally move over from Blogger to WordPress after I mentioned my intention back then. The major reason is because I’m a complete tech-idiot that even something very simple to implement looks extremely complicated to me. I pass out only reading the first few lines of instruction. Over this period, I was looking for a right person to help me out.
Then, I came across with my ex-coworker, Janice, who is a super efficient and “on-brief” partner to work with. She had it done in only 2 weeks or so. And I’ve successfully dumped Blogger! Relieved! Thanks, Janice.
Thanks for all the readers who have shared with me their experiences and advices. And I apologize for my blog being invisible or “weird” for the past week during migration.
Now, one project done. Move on to focus the REAL move of my house. Yes, we bought a new house. But, our existing one wasn’t sold until yesterday after those hectic 42 days when it’s for sale. Will tell you more.
Ingredients (12 muffins):
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small cubes
2 cups seedless red grape (select the tiny ones)
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Directions:
In a food process/blender, combine flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Blend in butter cubes until the mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Remove 1 cup of the mixture for making streusel later.
Add milk mixture to the flour mixture. Stir until just combined. Gently fold in grapes and lemon zest.
Fill each muffin cup almost full with the batter.
To make streusel topping. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and drizzle over the reserved flour mixture. Mix together with a fork until it’s crumbly.
Sprinkle a tablespoon of the streusel over the top of each muffin.
Place in the oven and bake until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Place on a wire rack to cool.

I never thought of using grapes in baked goods…the question is why not? Thanks so much for sharing your recipe and for the inspiration!
Cheers

Moving houses is so painful but once it is done, so rewarding.
I always just thought grapes were the perfect, simple snack. I’ve surprisingly, never tried to bake with them, but you’ve done a great job here!
delicious your muffins!
Was the transition easy from blogger to wordpress? I am thinking about switching also, but worry about losing something or missing how easy it is. Muffins look yummy…I love grapes too!
Congratulations on the move! :) I’ve been struggling with the technical difficulties that some times crop up! On an aside, the muffins look amazing!
Yay to the move! WordPress is great. And what a fabulous recipe to start!!!
Okay, one, now I have something i can do with those lonely little grapes in the drawer of my frig and two, this just looks delish! who would have thought grapes in muffins! Yum!
I bet these muffins are too die for! Love the grapes and strussel together.
Hi Lululu, thanks for this inspiration. Who would have thought that red grape in a muffin can turn out so nice and with the streusel…mmmm great one ! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Will try this out for sure :)
I love grapes, I can’t keep them in my house for long at all, I am going to have to hide some so I can make these muffins, thanks for sharing!
Congratulations on your new house! And great recipe!
Congrats on the move – both the blog and house. The blog transition was probably harder than the house. ;)
These muffins sound divine! And the streusel topping…..
I thought of using fresh grapes too, maybe I worried too much that the juice will going to mess up the muffins. Yours look really wonderfully baked and yummy. Thanks for shairng & hope you’ll have a nice weekend.
Cheers, Kristy

Wishing you lots of happiness with wordpress. I know its a frustrating move, I’ve done it myself.
I am so happy to see this recipe. I have some grapes in the fridge that have been sitting there a long time. I think I’m going to try these.
Have a wonderful weekend.

wow you did a great job (of course with janice help) moving to wordpress. Fortunately I’m on wordpress already so I don’t know what blogger is like. I like wordpress anyway. Hope your house move goes well. :0)
