RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS



Rich and Buttery Corn Muffins image

Made with plenty of melted butter and sour cream, these golden, lightly sweet corn muffins are moist, rich and delicately crumbly. If you can find coarsely ground cornmeal (as opposed the fine stuff that's on most supermarket shelves), you'll also get deep corn flavor and a pleasantly grainy texture. Serve these warm from the oven, slathered with even more butter, or halved and toasted under the broiler to crisp the surface. They'll even keep for a few days if you store them in the fridge, and freeze perfectly for up to a month.

Time 40m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup/255 grams unsalted butter (2 sticks), melted and cooled, plus more for greasing the pan
2 cups/240 grams coarse or stone-ground cornmeal
1 1/2 cups/190 grams all-purpose flour
2/3 cup/165 grams granulated sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup/240 milliliters sour cream or whole-milk Greek yogurt
1/2 cup/120 milliliters whole milk
2 large eggs, at room temperature
Demerara sugar, as needed
Softened butter, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
  • In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
  • Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.

RICH AND CHEWY PECAN PIE MUFFINS!



Rich and Chewy Pecan Pie Muffins! image

This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin.

FIBER RICH MUFFINS



Fiber Rich Muffins image

A muffin recipe off the box of Hodgson Mill Hot Cereal. Surprisingly good. Not too sweet, not overly "fiber-y". I shredded the apples, peel and all. The cereal in this recipe has 18 grams of fiber per cup. So, since the nutritional information doesn't reflect the cereal, these muffins have at least 2 grams of fiber per muffin.

RICH MUFFINS



Rich Muffins image

This a plain muffin but surprisingly tasty.

Provided by Myrna Barager

Categories     Muffins

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 eggs
2/3 c milk
1/3 c butter, melted
1 3/4 c sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 c sugar
4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 400 F (200 C). Grease 12 large muffin cups.
  • 2. Beat eggs in a mixing bowl and stir in milk and butter.
  • 3. Sift remaining ingredients together into egg mixture and stir only enough to blend (batter should be lumpy).
  • 4. Spoon into prepared muffin cups, filling about 2/3 full. Bake until well browned (17 to 20 minutes). Serve warm.
  • 5. VARIATION: Stir 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind into liquid ingredients. Put 1 tablespoon batter in each muffin cup and add 1 teaspoon of any thick jam. Add enough batter to fill cups 2/3 full and add a dab of jam to top of each.

Tips:

  • Choose the right muffin tin: Use a muffin tin with 12 cups or more to ensure that the muffins have enough space to rise and bake evenly.
  • Line the muffin tins with paper liners: This will help to prevent the muffins from sticking to the pan and make them easier to remove.
  • Measure your ingredients accurately: This is important to ensure that the muffins have the right consistency and texture.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making the muffins light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl: This will help to ensure that they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions: Mix after each addition until just combined. This will help to prevent the batter from becoming overmixed.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full: This will allow the muffins to rise without overflowing the cups.
  • Bake the muffins at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: This will help to ensure that the muffins are cooked through but not overbaked.

Conclusion:

Following these tips will help you to make rich and delicious muffins that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast treat or a sweet snack to satisfy your cravings, these muffins are sure to please.
