This is a great basic muffin recipe. I have been using this same recipe for many many years. It is very adaptable - add fruit nuts or diced cooked bacon. Our favorite variation is Surprise Muffins. Put 1 tablespoon of batter into muffin tin top with 1 teaspoon of jelly (strawberry or plum) then add batter to fill muffin tin 2/3 full. Bake as usual. The "surprise" is the jelly center! I love basic recipes that can be used again and again - and this is one of them!! Read More

Made these for Grandpa's birthday. Grandpa is our cat. Yes you read that right...I made muffins for the cat's birthday. She didn't get any but my husband was happy to celebrate for her. Unfortunately these simple muffins were not that tasty...just ok. I probably won't try them again. Read More

I was looking for a basic muffin recipe and I found it!! The first time I made them I followed the recipe exactly and they were good. The second time I wanted to play around with it so I added a little vanilla extract and some chocolate chips and they were delicious! A big hit:D Thank you Read More

GREAT muffins!! I only got 9 muffins from this recipe not 12 so next time I might make a double batch. I served these with the honey butter recipe also found on this site. My husband had 3 of them with his dinner and my 5 year old ate 2 of them and was still asking for more! Thank you for this wonderful recipe it will be a regular at my house! Read More

My boys inhaled the whole batch of these muffins. My only complaints are that they stuck to the muffin tins and that it feels like I'm feeding the kids cake! If I could find a way to sneak in some nutritional value they'd be perfect. Read More

Simple and delicious! Good by themselves better with sauces jellies or gravies. These work for both sweet and savory dishes! They also baked up nicely with eggBeaters Splenda 1% lowfat milk and unsweetened applesauce substitutes for the full-fat ingredients. A true winner! Read More
