SERVES 12
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk (or other liquid, such as drained pineapple juice, orange juice, etc...)
- 1/4 cup oil or oil substitute
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 cups fruit, additions (or vegetable, such as 1 cup mashed banana and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts)
- spices, of your choice
- Heat oven to 400.
- Grease 12 muffin cups, or 24 mini muffin cups.
- Combine dry ingredients, including dry additions (like nuts, chocolate chips, etc -- ) and spices.
- Combine wet ingredients, including wet additions (like banana, berries, pineapple, etc -- ).
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full (perfectly ok if you have leftover batter to fill cups to top.).
- Bake for 18-20 minutes.
- NOTES:.
- To make non-sweet muffins, such as bacon and cheddar, just cut back on the sugar to 1 tablespoon. You can make your own "jiffy" corn muffins by substituting 1/2 cup corn meal for 1/2 cup of the flour, and using 2 tablespoons of sugar. Substitute peanut butter for the oil to give your muffins a peanutty taste (I make Elvis Muffins by using 2 mashed bananas, 1/2 cup chopped peanuts and then peanut butter for the oil.).
- If your additions are very wet (such as crushed pineapple) then use up to 1/2 cup more flour, to equal up to 2 cups total flour.
- Play around with this! It's easy and quick!
