CLOSE TO MIMI'S HONEY BRAN MUFFINS



Close to Mimi's Honey Bran Muffins image

I have been trying to find a recipe that would be close to the muffins at Mimi's restaurant. This one is the closest I have found and they ARE yummy. Found at Cooks.com. If you don't have buttermilk, just put two teaspoons apple cider vinegar in two cups regular milk and let stand for 15 minutes.

MIMI'S MUFFINS



MiMi's Muffins image

I experimented with many "Glorious Morning Muffins or Glory Muffins" then I adapted this recipe from all those trials. They have a lot of ingredients but are worth the time. They are very versatile and freeze well, very handy to take with when you are in a hurry in the morning. If you like, you can also spread them with a cream...

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 c all purpose flour
1 c whole wheat flour or (uncooked oatmeal)
1 c brown sugar, lightly packed
2 Tbsp wheat germ
2 tsp cinnamon, ground
1 medium grated rind of fresh orange
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c milk (or buttermilk)
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla
3/4 c vegetale oil or( melted coconut oil -my preference)
3 medium grated carrots (about 2 cups) you can also substitute grated zuchinni
1/2 c crushed pineapple, drained
1/2 c raisins or dried cranberrys
1 c apple shredded
1 c coconut (or pecans if you prefer)

Steps:

  • 1. Instructions : 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line twelve to sixteen 1/2-cup muffin cups with paper muffin liners. 2. Whisk the flours with the brown sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. In another medium bowl lightly whisk the egg, then whisk in the oil (or if you prefer, like I do use melted coconut oil), and vanilla extract. 3. Quickly and lightly fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients with a rubber spatula. Stir in the carrots and pineapple, apple, coconut, raisins just until evenly moist; the batter will be very thick. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the centers comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Turn muffins out of the tins and cool on a rack. Serve warm. Top with a cream cheese frosting if desired.

HONEY BRAN MUFFINS - MIMI'S CAFE RECIPE - (3.7/5)



Honey Bran Muffins - Mimi's Cafe Recipe - (3.7/5) image

Provided by Niecer

Number Of Ingredients 21

DRY INGREDIENTS:
1 cup flour
1 cup wheat bran
4 teaspons dry milk powder
1/4 teaspon baking powder
1 teaspon baking soda
1/4 teaspon salt
WET INGREDIENTS:
1/3 cup brown sugar (it called for dark, but all I had was light)
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons molasses
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 egg
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons grated orange zest (the orange flavor is a little overpowering, I'd probably reduce this to 1 tablespoon or maybe even 2 teaspoons)
GLAZE:
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
3 tablespoons butter (very soft or slightly melted - I put this whole mixture on top of the fridge while I did the rest and it worked really well)
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons water

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Distribute about 1 tablespoon of the Glaze into 12 muffin tins and be sure to coat the bottom and sides of each muffin tin. (I did this just before I mixed the wet and dry ingredients so that the glaze was fairly liquid, and I just spread it evenly between all 12 tins rather than measure) In a medium bowl (or one with a pour spout) mix all the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl (I didn't do this I just put all the wet ingredients into the middle of the dry ingredients and mixed them all together), mix the "liquid" ingredients. Stir the liquids into the dry ingredients until just moistened. Fill muffin tins 2/3 full, bake at 350 for 20min, until a toothpick comes out clean (be sure not to fill the muffins too full because even at 2/3rds they spring up over the tops a little. Immediately invert the baked muffins onto foil or wax paper to cool. I put mine on wax paper, and then enjoyed eating the caramelized rings on the muffin tin - if you make them, you'll know what I'm talking about.

MIMI'S HUGE BLUEBERRY MUFFINS



Mimi's Huge Blueberry Muffins image

A prominent department store used to sell these in their bakery case. These are big muffins loaded with blueberries. They are nice and sweet. All I can say about them is to try them--they are great. I like to use our Maine blueberries as there is a lot of flavor, but any wild blueberry will be fine.

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 55m

Yield 6-12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter or 1/2 cup unsalted margarine
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
6 fluid ounces buttermilk
1 tablespoon buttermilk, additional
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375°F.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream the sugar and butter together with an electric mixer.
  • When they are thoroughly mixed, add the eggs and beat for 1 more minute.
  • Sift the flour into a separate bowl, together with the baking soda, nutmeg and cinnamon.
  • Add the flour and buttermilk to the first mixture, and mix at low speed until smooth.
  • To avoid lumps in the batter, add the wet and dry ingredients alternately, in small amounts.
  • Make the nut topping by combining all the Nut Topping ingredients together in a small bowl.
  • Grease muffin tins with additional butter or margarine, or use paper or foil baking cups.
  • Fill each cup ¾ full of batter.
  • Add a full rounded tablespoon of the nut topping on top of the batter in each cup.
  • Bake immediately, or the topping will sink to the bottom of the muffins, and then you will be mad at yourself - and we don't want that to happen, do we?.
  • Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the middle of a muffin comes out dry.
  • (Home ovens' heat differently from Mimi's commercial ovens, and so you may need to adjust the temperature and/or the baking time accordingly).
  • This recipe yields 12 standard-size muffins, or 6 Jumbo-size muffins.
  • If you are using jumbo muffin tins, reduce the oven temperature by 25° and increase the baking time by 5 to 10 minutes.
