It's a Muffin Kind of Morning
Homemade Made Easy
Posted by Danielle Bean in Food on Monday, May 23, 2011 10:00 AM
I love muffins! So easy! So homemade! So flexible! So very yummy!
Here’s what I’m hoping to convince a kid or two to help me bake up this morning:
Oatmeal Muffins
1 cup milk
1 cup quick cooking oats
1 egg
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
(We might even put some blueberries in there)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Grease muffin cups or line with paper muffin liners. In a small bowl, combine milk and oats; let soak for 15 minutes. In a separate bowl, beat together egg and oil; stir in oatmeal mixture. In a third bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into wet ingredients, just until combined. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups until cups are 2/3 full. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins test “done” with a toothpick.
How about you? Feel like sharing your favorite muffin recipe today?

GF or not, these are some dang tasty pumpkin muffins: http://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/gluten-free-pumpkin-muffins-recipe
I’m not GF as a general rule—just trying to lay off the wheat because it makes my knees hurt. I would not have guessed they were GF…my entire family loooooved them.

We have several, but 2 recipes we make whenever we have ricotta handy are Mollie Katzen’s Ricotta Dill Muffins and Chocolate Ricotta Muffins. Both of these we have only made in mini-muffin tins and they come out so perfectly. Her cookbook “Sunlight Cafe” has many muffin recipes, several of which use ricotta.
Chocolate Ricotta muffins can be found on Mollie Katzen’s website.

We are big fans of Mollie Katzen’s cookbooks! Her classic Moosewood is my favorite (followed by the multi-ethnic Sundays at Moosewood)! This recipe sounds delicious! Do you think I could substitute homemade yogurt (it is quite thick) for the ricotta cheese?

This recipe is VERY old and just yummy! A favorite at Christmas & Easter in our family. Enjoy!
Nutmeg Muffins (a.k.a. Doughnut Muffins by the little old lady who created it.)
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
½ tsp. salt
1 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 cup milk
Cream sugar and shortening; add egg and beat. Sift dry ingredients and add alternately with milk. Bake in a 350 degree oven for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove from pan and roll tops in 1/2 cup melted margarine. Turn in mixture of 3/4 cup sugar and 1 Tbs. cinnamon.
My new favorite are Heidi Swanson’s Millet Muffins from her Super Natural Everyday cookbook, and luckily she has made this recipe available on her website: http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/super-natural-every-day-six-recipe-sampler-recipe.html !!
Wow! I am going to try several of these recipes. I love muffins but don’t often think to make them.
For those that are GF, I find that using Domata flour, which already includes the Xanthum gum, really makes the yummiest baked goods. I find other GF flour combinations to make baked goods that a too dense. Just my two-cents.
