SALMON AND CHIVE MUFFINS



Salmon and Chive Muffins image

I am posting this recipe in honour of my Recipezaar friend Latchy who sadly passed away in 2006. This was one of two recipes she gave me that she hadn't got round to posting. I have made these and would certainly have given her 5* for them had she posted the recipe. I hope you enjoy them too. :) I used a can of pink salmon and made some into normal size muffins as well as some mini size muffins.

Categories     Bread     Herb     Vegetable     Breakfast     Brunch     Bake     Quick & Easy     Yogurt     Cornmeal     Spice     Corn     Healthy     Chive     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes about 10 standard muffins or 30 mini-muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

Nonstick vegetable oil spray
1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 1/2 cups plain yogurt
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 425°F. Spray 10 standard muffin cups (each about 1/3-cup capacity) or 30 mini-muffin cups with nonstick spray. Whisk flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, salt, baking soda, and cayenne pepper in medium bowl. Stir in chives. In another medium bowl whisk yogurt, eggs, and melted butter. Add yogurt mixture to dry ingredients and stir just until blended. Divide batter among prepared muffin cups, using about 1/3 cup batter for each standard muffin cup or about 1 generous tablespoon for each mini-muffin cup.
  • Bake until muffins are puffed and golden and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 20 minutes for standard muffins and 14 minutes for mini-muffins. Transfer pans to rack and let muffins cool in pans. (Can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Leave muffins in pans; let stand at room temperature. Rewarm in 350°F oven just until warm, about 5 minutes.) Remove from pans and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh chives for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh chives, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried chives or 1 tablespoon of minced onion.
  • Grate the cheddar cheese finely so that it melts evenly throughout the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full. This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These chive mini muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or lunchboxes. They're also a great way to use up leftover chives. So next time you have some extra chives on hand, be sure to give these muffins a try!
