VERY VANILLA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º. Line 12 muffin pan cups with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, stir together flour, 1/2 cup of the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, stir together egg, yogurt and vanila, pour over dry ingredients. Add melted butter and stir just to blend (do not overmix). Quickly spoon batter into paper liners, filling each muffin cup to the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tbsp of sugar.
• Bake muffins about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove muffins to wire rack and let cool 10-15 minutes before serving.

BASIC MUFFIN RECIPE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Line 2 muffin trays with paper muffin cases. In a large bowl beat 2 medium eggs lightly with a handheld electric mixer for 1 min.
• Add 125ml vegetable oil and 250ml semi-skimmed milk and beat until just combined then add 250g golden caster sugar and whisk until you have a smooth batter.
• Sift in 400g self-raising flour and 1 tsp salt (or 400g plain flour and 3 tsp baking powder if using) then mix until just smooth. Be careful not to over-mix the batter as this will make the muffins tough.
• Stir in 100g chocolate chips or dried fruit if using.
• Fill muffin cases two-thirds full and bake for 20-25 mins, until risen, firm to the touch and a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. If the trays will not fit on 1 shelf, swap the shelves around after 15 mins of cooking.
• Leave the muffins in the tin to cool for a few mins and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

VANILLA MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F Grease muffin tins and place empty tins in heated oven for 3 minutes. Scoop batter into hot tins. Sounded strange to me, but it works great! I use olive oil Pam and it smoked like crazy. I thought for sure it would taste weird, not at all. They fell right out of the tin.
• Beat sugar and eggs together.
• Melt butter.
• Add butter and vanilla.
• Combine flour and baking powder. Add alternately with milk. Mix just until combined. I would mix by hand, not mixer or they will be tough and chewy.
• Fill tins 2/3 full.
• Bake time depends upon size tins used. Minis take 10-12 minutes. Regular size take 15-18 minutes. Can bake a little longer for darker color.

BASIC VANILLA MUFFINS FOR DINNER (NOT SWEET!)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F Grease muffin pans and set aside.
• Stir together the flour, baking powder, and salt until completely mixed. Place the sugar, eggs, milk, butter, and vanilla in a large bowl and mix well. Add the combined dry ingredients and mix by hand just until the batter is blended; it should not be completely smooth.
• Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pans, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the pans and serve warm.
