Browned Butter Plum Muffins Recipes

BROWNED BUTTER-PLUM MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Place paper baking cup in each of 12 regular-size muffin cups.
• In 1-quart saucepan, heat 1/2 cup butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, until light golden brown. Remove from heat; stir in plums and cardamom. Cool completely.
• In large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups flour, the granulated sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir in milk, vanilla and eggs just until moistened. Gently stir in plum mixture. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
• In small bowl, mix brown sugar, walnuts and 1/4 cup butter. Stir in 1/3 cup flour with fork until crumbly. Sprinkle topping evenly over batter.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pan to cooling rack. Serve warm or cool.

SUGAR PLUM MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place the plums into a saucepan with the golden syrup. Bring to the boil and then stew and simmer until the plums are deliciously soft but still holding some shape. Reserve to cool.
• Set the oven to 180C/fan. Line a deep muffin pan with 12 cases.
• Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and using either a wooden spoon or hand-held electric mixer, cream together until fluffy. Add the egg and beat the mixture (adding a little flour if it curdles) to blend. Stir in the cooled plums and all the syrup liquid. Place the flour, ginger, baking powder and salt together in a sieve and shake into the mix. Mix well and divide between the 12 muffin cases. Bake in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes.
• Remove the cooked muffins from the pan after 5 minutes and cool on a wire rack. When almost completely cooled, sieve a good dousing of icing sugar over the muffins (or top with sugar crystals if you prefer) and serve.

BROWN BUTTER OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Mix together milk and vinegar in a large bowl. Stir in oats and allow mixture to soak for at least 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, prepare brown butter. Add butter to a small, light-colored saucepan over medium heat. Cook, swirling pan constantly, until butter is melted and brown bits begin to form on the bottom of the pan, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line cups with paper liners.
• Stir flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together in a bowl. Set aside.
• Add cooled browned butter, maple syrup, and vanilla to the soaked oats. Whisk until combined. Add in egg and mix until thoroughly combined. Mix in 1/2 of the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Mix in remaining flour mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in raisins and walnuts.
• Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops spring back when lightly pressed, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
