Provided by Chelsey White

Categories     Muffins

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
1/3 cup granulated sugar (66g)
1 3/4 tsp baking powder (7g)
1/4 tsp salt (1g)
1/3 cup whole milk or buttermilk, room temperature (75g)
2 Tbsp sour cream (32g)
6 Tbsp vegetable oil (80g)
1 large egg, room temperature (56g)
1 tsp vanilla (4g)
2/3 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips, tossed with 1 tsp of flour (110g)
2 Tbsp coarse sugar, optional

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F / 218°C and line a muffin pan with 6 paper liners. Set aside.
  • In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the buttermilk, sour cream, oil, egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  • Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a rubber spatula, and mix until just combined (DO NOT OVER-MIX YOUR BATTER!). Your batter should not be all the way smooth, and it's ok if there are still some small chunks in it.
  • Gently mix the flour-tossed bits of chocolate into the batter until they're evenly distributed.
  • Divide the muffin batter evenly between the 6 muffin cups, filling them to the top of the liner.
  • If desired, add a sprinkle of coarse sugar and a few extra pieces of chocolate on the top of each muffin.
  • Bake the muffins for 6 minutes at 425°F/ 218°C to give the muffins a nice rise and a domed, golden brown top, then (keeping the muffins in the oven) reduce the oven temperature to 350°F / 175°C. Continue to bake for an additional 22-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins sit in the pan for 10 minutes to cool, then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Provided by Chocolate Covered Katie

Categories     Breakfast

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup applesauce
3 tbsp oil OR applesauce or mashed banana
2 tbsp milk of choice
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 tsp white or cider vinegar
1 cup spelt,
1/4 cup sugar or unrefined sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each: baking soda and baking powder
1/4 tsp cinnamon
optional handful raisins, (crushed walnuts, shredded coconut, etc.)

Steps:

  • *If you want to make mini muffins, bake only 10 minutes. I recommend this mini muffin pan.Whisk all liquid ingredients together. Preheat oven to 350, and line a muffin tin. In a new bowl, stir remaining ingredients very well. Pour dry into wet, and stir until just evenly mixed. Fill each liner about 2/3 of the way, leaving a little room because they will rise. Bake on the center rack, 20 minutes or until muffins have domed and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out mostly clean. Let cool. (If you loosely cover overnight on the counter or refrigerated, the liners peel off easily the next day and flavor and texture are even better.) Leftovers can be frozen if desired.
