Muffin Recipes - Fave BB Muffin Recipes!

Yesterday I had a ginormous craving for muffins, so I got out the old recipe book and made some peach muffins (modified a blueberry muffin recipe). They were shocking #-o , really hard, not light and fluffy at all.

Does anyone have a really good muffin recipe to ease the craving?? =P~

(note from BellyBelly: sticking thread as it has lots of yummy muffin recipes here!). I have also consolidated all these recipes on the main site in the muffin recipes article.

Hey,

I'm not sure if you are into Banana muffins at all, but I have a banana cake recipe that makes fantastic muffins. People always seem to love them.

Ingredients:

125g butter
1/2 cp caster sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp vanilla extract
4 very ripe, medium sized bananas, mashed
1 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 cp milk
2 cps SR Flour

Icing:

185g cream cheese, cubed and softened
1/3-2/3 cp sifted icing sugar to taste
lemon juice to taste

Preheat oven to 180 deg C. Line muffin tin with muffin cases. Beat together butter and sugar until light and creamy. Gradually add eggs, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla and bananas and beat until just combined (the mixture may look quite curdled, but it is fine). Dissolve the bicarb soda in the milk. Use a large metal spoon to alternately fold in flour and milk/bicarb mix. Fold until just combined and smooth, don't over stir. Divide mixutre up into muffin tin. Bake for 15-20 mins or until top is just golden and a skewer comes out clean. Let cool for 20 mins - 1/2 hour on a wire rack (or until they are only just warm) and then ice.

To make icing: Beat cream cheese and lemon juice until smooth. Gently beat in icing sugar. Spread over top of muffins.

Makes 15-18 average-ish sized muffins.

HTH.

Here's a savoury one for you, and they're pretty tasty!

Savoury Muffins

1/2 cup SR Flour
1/2 cup Wholemeal SR Flour
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1/8 tsp mustard
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
60g cheese, grated
1/4 onion, diced

1. Sift both lots of flour, mustard and pepper into a bowl.

2. Add cheese, onion, egg and milk; mix well.

3. Put spoonfuls into patty cake tin.

4. Cook for about 20 minutes at 200 C.

Note: I quite often put in some diced ham or bacon for some extra flavour, and I have also made the recipe without the Wholemeal SR Flour - I have just used extra of the other SR Flour. You can omit the mustard and pepper if you like and just add more or less cheese/onion to taste!

[*TamaraP*]

Mmmm, its easy takes 10 mins to prepare, about 25-30 to cook on 180!!!

2 Cups SR Flour
1/3 cup Cocoa
1/2 cup Castor Sugar
60grm melted butter or Oil
1/2 cup Choc Chips or Melts
1/2 cut Nutella
1 Egg Lightly Beaten
1/2 cup Milk
1/2 cup Sour Cream

Throw in a bowl, mix with wooden spoon. Fill into a tray of 12 muffins and bake. I underbake mine just a tad to get the inside all gooey!!

[visitor2]

Can you make these without the sour cream ???

I have everything else in the house other than sour cream.

[*TamaraP*]

You probably could...I have never tried...you could maybe use more milk

[Melinda]

I made one batch with extra milk as I didn't have sour cream but I was a bit disappointed in them. I just made another batch today (OMG, I am naughty!) but I used the sour cream that I got when I did the grocery shopping yesterday and they were great. I also used milk choc-bits instead of dark choc-bits and I iced them with a choc-hazlenut topping!

Triple Choc Muffins

2 & 1/2 cups SR Flour
1/2 cup baking cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup milk choc bits
1 egg
1 & 1/2 cups milk
100g melted butter
200g Dark Melts
1/4 cup cream

Oven temp 200c for 20 - 25 mins
Sift Flour and baking cocoa into bowl, stir in sugar and milk choc bits.

Topping
Mix dark melts and cream in pan, stir over a low heat until melted. Allow to cool and spoon in top of muffins.

They are so yummy. I use Nestle baking stuff as i think they taste better than shops own.

I bought a pkt mix (I never buy pkts & make all cakes etc from scratch) But at NQR I saw a pkt of Betty Crockers White Choc Chip muffins.
So I grabbed them & on the side it said for a variation add raspberries or blueberries...

So I grabbed a pkt of frozen raspberries (worked out cheaper than the fresh ones)
I added 1.5 cups to the Pkt mix (made as per pkt) & cooked & OMG, these are DELICIOUS!!!!!

I went back & grabbed 2 more pkts & served some up for our dinner party on Saturday night & my BIL (whom is a chef) said they were so delicious & asked for my recipe, so I snuck away & made a hamper for him... I popped a spare box of muffins & the frozen raspberries ina basket for him with a wooden spoon!!! Noone could believe it was a pkt (as I am renowned for me cakes etc)

SO EASY!!!!!

they're not quite muffins but they are rich and yummy!!

[{sarah}]

Well I just finished making -
* Creamed Corn & Cheese muffins - Zander & I are in love with these, too easy & sooo delicious.
* Pumpkin muffins - neither of us eat cooked apple so I left that part out & didn't do the topping but they are super fantastic, I think Aaron would even like them & he's not a pumpkin fan.
* Carrot & Zucchini muffins - these ones are in the toddler food thread and they taste great, you wouldn't believe they are good for you LOL!
* Sultana muffins - I had packets of sultanas & dried peach that I used instead of plain sultanas & they taste really nice

[Sana]

Sarah that sounds brilliant. I'll have to try those carrot and zucchini ones. I'm a bit scared of zucchini, but I'm sure you can't taste it in the muffins.

The best thing is that you can freeze them, and then grab some as snacks when you go out with the kids (much healthier than processed snacks from the shops). I'm going to buy some of those snap lock bags on the weekend, so I can write on them what type of muffins are inside, and they are easy to open and close.

[{sarah}]

You can't taste the zuchinni Sana, but you can always just put more carrot or put in some other vegetable - maybe spinach would work??
