Muffins for all...

Blueberry-Corn Muffins:
I got this idea from Spot Coffeehouse which seriously has the best food EVER! (I will never even try to replicate some of the wonder that occurs there -- but this one I just had to try.)

What You'll Need:
  • 1+1/2 sticks of butter, melted
  • 1 cup of flour
  • 3/4 cup of yellow corn meal
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1.5 tsp baking powder
  • 2 large eggs (or 1/2 cup of Egg Beaters)
  • 1/2 cup milk (for this recipe I used 1/4 cup Half and Half and 1/4 cup skim -- ok, it was a little more Half and Half)
  • Frozen Blueberries -- as many as you like. OR you could use Fresh Blueberries which (a) are in season shortly and (b) won't turn your muffins greenish (live and learn my friends).

    What to do:
    Mix it all together -- dry ingredients first, then wet, then blueberries at the end. Don't stir it too much. The secret to muffins is just stirring until everything is moist (I used that word just for you, Natalie!)

    Put them in muffin liners in a muffin tin, and bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.

    Mom's Chocolate-Peanut Butter Chip Muffins

  • 2 cups flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 TBSP baking powder
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • chocolate chips
  • peanut butter chips

    What To Do:
    See above... it's always the same.

    Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~Option 3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Audrey's Bran Muffins

    What You'll Need:
  • 1 + 1/4 cup Bran
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 cup soaked raisins

    What to do:
    Mix all the wet ingredients and let sit 10 minutes.
    Add in dry ingredients and raisins and stir just until combined.
    Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes.
