Basic muffin recipe

 

There are many ways to get creative with muffins! You can make so many different flavor combinations. You can also choose to add a streusel topping. I have a wonderful muffin recipe that I know you will enjoy. I got this recipe from my Aunt and I will not use any other muffin recipe except for this one.

Just as I have written about getting creative with brownies and coffee, I will now write about getting creative with your muffins.

Basic Muffin Recipe

  • 1 stick of margarine, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla
  • ½ cup milk
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • 2 tbsp. baking powder
  • 2 cups of your additives

Preheat oven to 400*.
Cream butter and sugar together.
Add eggs, vanilla, milk and additives.
When combined add in flour and powder.
I like to fill up the muffin pans to ¾ full. It makes for big muffins!
Bake for 20-25 minutes.

Streusel Topping

  • 3 tbsp. margarine, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • ½ cup flour

Mix all ingredients until crumbly.
Sprinkle over each muffin and bake.

Here are some additive ideas:

  • Fruits: bananas, blueberries, apples
  • Apples and cinnamon
  • Peanut butter
  • Jelly
  • Nuts
  • Chocolate chips or chunks
  • Butterscotch chips
  • Cinnamon chips
  • Caramel chips
  • White chocolate chips
  • Candy bars, crumbled
  • Spices: cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, cloves
  • Andes mint candies, crushed
  • Pumpkin
  • Cookies, crumbled

You can add one or more of these additives to your muffin mix. I would add 2 cups worth of additives.
Try this: Peanut butter, banana and chocolate chips muffins!
