There is nothing like the aroma of a fresh-baked muffin -- except maybe the taste -- as you bite into the delicious morsel. Some of the classic recipes include blueberry, apple cinnamon, bran, and banana. They can be served for breakfast or as an afternoon snack.
Try some of these recipes or feel free to share a recipe.
Tip: Be careful not to overmix the batter or the bread might turn out tough and crumbly. The batter is supposed to be lumpy.
Muffins rely on chemical leaveners, rather than yeast, and are prepared with the same basic ingredients and techniques. They can be savory or sweet. The key ingredients are flour, leavening, butter or oil, and dairy products. They can also include all kinds of other ingredients such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cinnamon, pumpkin, lemon, banana, orange, peaches, strawberries, almonds, and carrots.
