We make a lot of muffins in our house. It’s a quick snack, an easy breakfast and a great dish to bring when you visit. We are sharing our easy muffin recipes below for you to enjoy as well. These are some of the best homemade muffins we have made throughout the years and keep going back to make.
Feeling adventurous? When you find a muffin recipe you like, you can take the basic muffin recipe, and modify it and make other delicious versions of the same basic recipe (sometimes with trial and error).
Cinnamon apple muffins are soft, moist, and filled with tender chunks of apple and warm cinnamon spice. The muffins are perfect for breakfast, snacking, or fall baking.
Homemade carrot cake muffins are soft, moist, and packed with warm spices, shredded carrots, and classic carrot cake flavor. They’re perfect for breakfast or snacking.
Chocolate chip pumpkin muffins are soft, moist, and perfectly spiced with pumpkin flavor and melty chocolate chips in every bite. They’re an easy, bakery-style treat that’s perfect for fall breakfasts, snacks, or dessert.
Pancake sausage muffins combine two breakfast favorites into one easy, make-ahead meal. Freezer-friendly, reheatable, and perfect for busy mornings when you need something quick and filling.
Strawberry lemonade muffins are soft, bakery-style muffins bursting with sweet strawberries and bright lemon flavor in every bite. They’re light, fresh, and perfect for spring mornings, brunch, or an afternoon treat.
I like cornbread in a muffin form. More crispy edges and crunch. So good with chili or I just eat them with a bit of butter warm.
You can never go wrong with chocolate anything. Serve up double chocolate muffins instead of a birthday cake.
How Long Do I Mix the Batter?
When the flour is mixed in and you can no longer see it in the batter, stop. Over mixing can lead to tough muffins.
How I Can Have Big Fluffy Muffins?
Fill every other hole in the muffin tin. Fill the muffins up to the top. This doesn’t crowd the muffins and allow them to bake and not puff up into each other.
Can I Use Muffin Mix to Make a Loaf Instead?
Taking a muffin recipe and making a loaf is our favorite thing to do. Make a few muffins and then make a loaf of bread and freeze for later.
What are 5 Mistakes to Avoid When Making Muffins?
Over mixing the batter. Once it’s mixed, stop.
Under filling the muffin tin will lead to small non-poofy tops of the muffins.
Forgetting to spray the muffin tin will lead to stuck muffins.
Overfilling the muffin tin will not give you that beautiful top on the muffin.
Under baking. Use a toothpick and make sure it comes out clean. Check a couple muffins to be sure.
