Now no one surprise muffins. Recently, they are with us just at the peak of popularity. And I think that this is not happening by accident - they are prepared so easily and simply that even children prepare them.
And this simple pastry always turns out they are very tasty. Which by the way stimulates them to further culinary experiments. I have a friend who started his acquaintance with baking pastry with muffins, and now he is baking delicious complex cakes.
And indeed, if you have never baked, and you want to start with something, then this tasty pastry is just what you need. Observing just a few simple rules and having quite a bit of free time, you can have delicious homemade pastries every day. Though sweet, though not sweet!
Yes Yes! Muffins can be cooked and just for breakfast, serving them instead of bread, or you can bake them for tea! And what is important, you can cook them so often, and not to repeat at all - after all, with what kind of stuffing they are not cooked. I will not even list them, because it will probably be easier to name the fillings with which they are not prepared!
I will tell you about all the basic rules and manifold fillings when I share recipes with you. But what needs to be said at the beginning is that these small, like cupcakes, confectionery are English and American. And just what we are accustomed to cooking under this name is American muffins. And unlike their English counterparts, who are baked from yeast dough, is that they are prepared from flour with the addition of baking powder or soda, or both.
But do not confuse them with cupcakes, which have a different form of the finished product and a different cooking technology. In addition, cupcakes are fatter, although more “light - air”, and once fat, it means more high-calorie, and their close American relatives - have less calories. And if you replace part of the oil in the recipe with low-fat kefir or yogurt, and some flour with oatmeal, it can be almost dietary. But however, more on that later.
And now for the recipes. There are many of them today, as they say, for every taste.
Muffins - a simple classic recipe
A classic American muffin can be cooked with bran, and usually without filling, or with candied fruits, nuts, and dried fruit.
However, the recipe is basic. Knowing it, you can add various additional ingredients, change the taste and prepare many different options. He will not be called a classic, but it will still be a muffin.
We will need:
- flour - 200 gr
- sugar - 100 gr
- butter - 100 gr
- milk - 100 ml
- egg - 1 pc
- baking powder - 1 tsp
- vanillin - pinch
- salt - pinch
Cooking:
1. Remove the butter from the refrigerator and cut it into small pieces.
2. Using the whisk, beat the egg into the foam. Continuing to beat down, add oil and vanillin.
3. Pour in slightly warm milk and mix everything well again until smooth.
4. Sift the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl. Flour is best to use top grade. As you know, muffins quickly stale. Top grade flour will slow down this process somewhat. Add sugar and a pinch of salt. Stir everything.
There is one simple rule: add a pinch of salt to sweet pastries, and a not sweet pinch of sugar. This allows you to make pastries even more delicious.
5. In the dry mixture add the liquid component and mix with a spoon. In this case, the mixer does not mix the dough.
It is believed that for the preparation of classic muffins, it is necessary to mix the dry and liquid components separately, and then pour the liquid component into the flour and mix thoroughly with a spoon.
However, this rule does not always work. And you may come across recipes where the sequence of bookmark ingredients may differ slightly! But not in the classic version, for that and its name, to do everything strictly according to the rules!
6. Spread the mixture into silicone molds, filling them into 2/3 parts. Before they need to be lubricated with vegetable oil. Often, special paper liners are also put into the forms, and the dough is already laid out in them.
When serving pastries in paper cups, it looks much more aesthetic, besides taking them in a paper cup is much easier than with your hands.
7. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees in advance.
8. Bake 25 minutes until tender. Readiness is determined by the well-known method. If you pierce pastries with a toothpick, and it will not remain on it batterso the muffins are fully prepared.
9. Let them cool slightly and put on a dish. You can decorate with glaze, grated chocolate or simply sprinkle with powdered sugar.
To add fresh taste to the dough, you can add the lemon peel half. Moreover, it should be remembered that only the yellow part of lemon should be rubbed, since the white part tastes bitter. She will give baking a bitter taste.
The following recipes for which the muffins are cooked most often are recipes with chocolate. Prepare them with pieces of chocolate, or simply with the addition of cocoa. Let's look at both recipes.
Cocoa Chocolate Muffins

- flour - 250 gr
- sugar - 150 gr
- butter - 150 gr
- milk - 100 ml
- egg - 2 pieces

3. In one cooled mixture, beat eggs one by one and mix to make the mixture soft, supple and homogeneous.
4. Sift flour with baking powder, add salt and add everything to the resulting chocolate mixture. Mix with a spoon, mixer is not recommended. It should turn out not very thick dough.
5. Lubricate the molds and put in them chocolate doughby filling the form into 2/3 parts. The dough in the baking process will rise well and baking will turn out beautiful and lush!
6. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and bake for 25 minutes until ready.
7. Remove the finished baking from the oven, let cool and put on a dish. You can eat it as it is, or you can decorate it with icing, cream, or simply sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
If desired, add any nuts or raisins to the dough. Or both together. Chocolate muffins with this additive will benefit. Remember which chocolate tastes better, plain or with nuts and raisins? However, someone more like ordinary chocolate without any additives. Therefore, it is up to you to decide here!
And now the next chocolate recipe.
Chocolate Chip Muffins - Recipe # 1
This is essentially the same recipe as the previous one, except that it is prepared not with cocoa powder, but with chocolate. I love cooking such baked goods with dark bitter chocolate. In this case, sweetish muffins are obtained with a slight bitterness. But this recipe is likely to appeal to fans of dark chocolate. And sweets to taste will have such pastries with milk chocolate.

Banana Muffins
It is also the favorite type of baking from millions of people. And prepare them with some bananas, and with additional additives. Since there is practically no banana in the baked product, I like to add nuts and chocolate pieces to the dough, or just one thing.
Therefore, if you want to cook muffins only with bananas, then do not add any chocolate or nuts. All other ingredients are laid in the same proportions as in the recipe. And I, perhaps, will prepare them with additives.

3. Continuing to beat, gradually pour milk.
4. Peel bananas and mash with a fork. It's okay if there are small pieces. It is always nice when tangible fruit pieces come across in baking. Although in this case the whole banana is completely dissolved in the dough.
5. Chop the nuts or roll them with a rolling pin on a cutting board or towel. Pre-sort the nuts, remove the partitions and the shells. Strong roll nuts are not necessary, the pieces should remain quite tangible.
6. Chop the chocolate into pieces about 0.5 cm in size.
7. Combine the liquid component with the flour, add banana puree, nuts and chocolate. Leave some of the chocolate in order to press it into the products directly in the form. Mix the contents only with a spoon.

11. To eat with pleasure!
Muffins turned out to be completely not sweet, only slightly sweetened, which was very much to my homemade taste. Pieces of dark bitter chocolate are very much to my taste, since I like this chocolate the most.
And of course, the taste of the finished products was quite different than if we cooked them only with bananas alone. He turned out to be richer and more saturated.
Banana Muffins With Carrots
If you do not use the previous version of chocolate and nuts, you can make pastries with the addition of carrots. And believe me, they are no less tasty and are eaten simply in one breath. Here is the prescription.
We will need:
- flour - 2 glasses
- butter - 125 gr
- sugar - 100-150 gr
- egg - 2 pieces (large)
- baking powder - 1 tsp
- soda - 1/2 tsp

Cooking:
1. Sift flour and baking powder, add sugar, vanilla sugar, soda and salt, mix.
2. Peel bananas and mash with mashed forks or chop with a blender.
3. Grate the carrots.
4. Get the butter in advance from the refrigerator and let it stand for a little, so that it becomes soft.
5. Beat eggs into the foam using a whisk and then mix with butter.
6. Combine dry and liquid mixture, add banana puree and grated carrots. Using a spoon to knead the dough.
7. Lubricate the molds with butter and bake for 25-30 minutes at 180 degrees.
And here is another recipe with carrots.
Pumpkin - carrot muffins
I began to cook such pastries quite recently, as they say, the occasion helped! Not so long ago, I was cooking, and I left pumpkin puree. It was, of course, very tasty in and of itself, and it was easy for them to eat. But I had an unclaimed recipe that I had long wanted to cook. So I put the mashed potatoes in the fridge until the cake is eaten. Finally, a couple of days later, I started cooking muffins.
We will need (for 20 pieces):
- flour - 2 glasses
- butter - 125 g
- granulated sugar - 200 gr
- eggs - 2 pieces (large)
- sour cream - 3 tbsp. spoons with a slide
- pumpkin puree - 1 cup
- grated carrots - 1 cup (about 2 carrots)
- vanilla sugar - 10 grams (bag), or vanilla extract - 1 tsp
- soda - 1 tsp
- baking powder - 1 tsp
- ground cinnamon - 1/2 tsp
- salt - pinch
- nuts - optional (handful)
Cooking:
1. Slightly melt butter at room temperature with sugar and whisk. One by one, beat the eggs and mix until smooth.
2. Add grated pumpkin puree. Stir with a spoon. To make a cake, I baked a pumpkin in the oven, then pulled out the pulp with a spoon and ground it in a puree.
I think that you can use a fresh pumpkin, just rubbing it on a fine grater. You can bake the pumpkin in the microwave or oven, and then make mashed potatoes, or you can stew in a small amount of water with the addition of honey and only then grind into mashed potatoes.
In my opinion, all the ways are good. Of course, this somewhat lengthens quick way cooking the muffins themselves, but you know, it's worth it. The taste they get is just amazing and nothing like!
3. Sift the flour and baking powder into separate dishes, add salt, soda and cinnamon, mix.
4. Mix both masses with a spoon and add grated carrots on a fine grater. The dough turns out a pleasant orange color, not very thick, well, not liquid, such an average consistency.
5. Lubricate the molds and cover with paper liners, if you have them. If not, only molds will suffice. Fill the molds on 2/3 of the dough.
6. Heat the oven to 180 degrees and put the baking tray with the molds in the oven for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 170 degrees and bake another 10-15 minutes until cooked.
7. Remove the finished baking, let cool slightly and eat with pleasure.
I have to tell you that baking turns out very tasty, I would even say very tasty. In addition, it turned out beautiful sunny color, and it is very uplifting!

As you already understood the recipes for cooking this simple and straightforward baking, there is simply a huge amount. It is because the dough is prepared for them is the simplest, you can add to it the most that neither is a variety of fillings.
In order for the muffins to always turn up and tasty, let's take a closer look at the basic rules of their preparation. In this case, you will not be tied to any of the recipes, but you can always cook pastries to your liking.
1. It is believed that the correct proportions for baking muffins should be like this - 2 parts of flour, 2 parts of liquid, 1 part of butter and 1 part of eggs. That is, if you use 200 grams of flour, then you will need 200 grams of milk, 100 grams of butter and 1 egg. Sugar can be added to your liking, someone loves sweet pastries more, someone less sweet. Usually 100 g of sugar is added to this amount of flour.
2. A pinch of salt is always added to sweet pastries, and a pinch of sugar is added to unsweetened ones.
3. If dairy products are used, then along with the baking powder, add a little soda.
4. A special feature of the preparation is the fact that all the dry ingredients are mixed separately, and the liquid components separately. After that, the liquid components are poured into the dry.
5. When mixing the liquid and dry parts, we use only a spoon. Knead the dough should be short-lived, just mix it. It is assumed that the dough may remain slightly lumpy.
When mixing with a spoon, the dough is less porous. And when mixed with a mixer, on the contrary, it becomes too airy.
6. Because of simple dough muffins can quickly stale. To prevent this from happening, the molds are necessarily lubricated with either butter or sunflower oil.
If we also use special paper liners, it is not necessary to lubricate the shape,
7. Molds can be used silicone or any other. There are special paper ribbed liners. You can stir them into basic shapes. They also save pastries from quick drying. In addition, such baking is more convenient to eat and store.
8. If you have not found the molds, you can make home-made from baking paper, tie up with twine and bake in this form. It will be not only tasty, but also beautiful. The submission method will surprise and delight all those present.
9. When baking is ready, let it cool slightly. Then put on a plate and cover with a towel. So it will retain its softness longer.
10. Muffins are baked at a temperature of from 180 to 200 degrees. Depending on the recipe, sometimes the temperature is set at the beginning alone, and after a short amount of time, it decreases.
11. The readiness of baking is determined with the help of a toothpick; there should be no liquid dough on piercing it. And when pressed - baking should be elastic.
12. Readiness can also be determined visually. Ready-made pastries should rise well, redden and easily move away from the walls of the mold.
13. If for some reason, the muffins could not eat, then they can be frozen. For this you need to wrap them in food wrap, release all the air and put in freezer. At any time you can get them and reheat in the microwave.
These are the basic rules of cooking and storage.
You can also focus on how to make muffins with fewer calories. To do this, you can:
- reduce the amount of butter. Add more kefir, yogurt or milk with a small percentage of fat.
- sugar can be replaced with honey or fruit and berry puree
- dairy products can also be replaced by fruit juices or fruit and berry puree.
- flour can be partially replaced with oatmeal, or use flour with bran, if not fiber, which can be purchased at any pharmacy.
- by the way, you can cook pastries from corn flour, so prepare this pastry in America.
What is the difference between muffins from cupcakes and cupcakes
The closest relative of muffins is a cupcake. Sometimes these two concepts are confused and do not see much difference in them. Now I will tell you how they differ.
Well, firstly they have a different form. Cupcakes are usually baked big, round or rectangular. And the muffins are baked in small molds.
You will say that there are also small cupcakes baked in small molds. I agree with you. For their differences there are still differences.
Secondly, in the muffins used pastry dough, they are fatter and more caloric from it. In cupcakes, oil can be partially vegetable, and when used, it is more noticeable. In muffins, which used a good 82.5% butter, it is not felt at all.
Thirdly, there is a significant difference in the way of kneading dough. When making dough for muffins, all the components are thoroughly mixed with a mixer, and this makes the dough more airy. And for their fellows, the dough is kneaded with a spoon, and even then quickly enough. Therefore, it can be somewhat lumpy and heterogeneous.
Fourth, in the preparation of muffins, first dry components and liquid are separately mixed, and only after that they are combined. For cupcakes, sugar is whipped with butter, and then other ingredients are added.
Once I met an interesting comparison, and I remember it, but the meaning is that the muffins are a cross between a cupcake and a mini cake or cupcake. If you add more sugar to the dough and decorate the finished pastries with cream, you will get a mini-cake. And if on the contrary, reduce the amount of sugar, and add milk and eggs - then you get a cupcake.
And so another relative appeared - this is a cupcake. What is it, and how is it different from the brethren.
The cupcake cupcake, as you probably already understood, is a mini cake. In past centuries, it was baked in small ceramic cups, hence the name.
It is very easy to distinguish them from muffins and muffins — cream, frosting, whipped cream and other decorations are used to decorate them, which are used to decorate all the big cakes.
Well, now, when we have dealt with all the nuances and secrets in the preparation of muffins, we learned how they differ from their immediate relatives, and also got acquainted with many recipes - we can safely proceed to baking.
Knowing all this, you will always get tasty and fragrant pastries, and the one you want to bake using those products that are at your fingertips!

They are convenient to eat, easy to transport and can be kept warm for a relatively long time. Muffins can be classic sweet with fruit, berry, chocolate and cottage cheese fillings, as well as savory. Then they add finely chopped ham, sausages, grated cheese, herbs and vegetables. According to historical data, cupcakes with the cute name “muffin” appeared in England in the XI century, borrowing the name from the French word “moufflet”, meaning “soft bread”.
Bake the muffins!
In Russia, muffins are no less popular than in Europe and America. We baked muffins for a long time. And for the long history of the existence of this uncomplicated but very tasty pastry, many secrets of its preparation have appeared. In general, muffins are a cross between a cake and a cake. Put less sugar, more milk and eggs - the dough will be heavier, and the finished product will look like a cupcake. Add more sugar and garnish with cream on top - you’ll have a mini-cake.
There are 2 ways to make muffins: American, with the addition of slaked soda or baking powder, and English, which involves the preparation of muffins from yeast dough. And in fact, and in other ways there are general rules for cooking.
Rule number 1 - always use chilled butter so that it can be cut into pieces before adding to the dough.
Rule number 2 - strictly follow the sequence of input ingredients. First, mix with a mixer sugar and chilled butter in the form of pieces. Then we add eggs into the mixture, and after that - sifted flour. Last pour milk into the dough. After adding each component, mix the mixture slowly.
Rule number 3 - add fillings at the very end, especially fruit and berry. It is advisable to pre-mix the fruits and berries with flour, so that it draws out extra juice, and the dough does not turn out too heavy.
Rule number 4 - choose the right molds for muffins. The ideal option is to line the existing silicone or metal molds with oiled and floured paper molds. It is necessary to fill the form only by 2/3, because in the baking process the dough increases in volume.
Rule number 5 - bake muffins in a closed oven, heated to 180-190 ° C for 25 minutes, then check the readiness with a thin wooden stick. If the stick is dry, you can turn off the oven and let the muffins cool a little.
Classic Muffins
Making mini-cupcakes, you can easily experiment. However, classic muffins are prepared according to a clear recipe. For work we take:
- wheat flour - 1 cup
- warm milk - 1 cup
- sugar - 0.5 cup
- eggs - 2-3 pieces
- butter - 100 g
- baking powder - 2 tsp
- salt, vanilla - on a pinch
- lemon zest
First, we mix all the dry ingredients - sugar, sifted flour with baking powder, salt and lemon zest.
In a separate container, beat the eggs, sliced butter, vanilla and milk.
Combine both mixtures and mix until smooth. Pour the mixture into the previously prepared forms and put them in the oven for 20 minutes.
Similar to this recipe, you can make muffins with a filling - chocolate, oatmeal, chocolate drops, fruit, cottage cheese and berries. Especially in the summer season, muffins with strawberries and muffins with cherries are popular: berries can be cut and mixed with dough, and you can put them in the middle of each cupcake - at your discretion.
Cheese Muffins
Do you want to make not only tasty, but also healthy dessert? Pay attention to the cheese muffins. In principle, muffins with cottage cheese are prepared in the same way as classic cupcakes. To the above recipe we add only 250 g of dry cottage cheese, which we knead together with other liquid ingredients - eggs, milk, butter. Further, the cooking process is identical to the classic version. The only point is that muffins with cottage cheese need to be baked a little longer than usual - about 30 minutes, due to the fact that the dough becomes more dense.
By the way classic recipe You can modify and cook the muffins on kefir, not milk. Believe me, baking will not suffer at all, and in a savory version - it will become even tastier!
Cottage cheese muffins with chocolate are perfect for kids. You can use one of the options: add 2-3 tsp of cocoa powder to the dough - then you will get full-fledged chocolate muffins, or arrange cupcakes on a piece of dark or milk chocolate, and then close them with the remaining dough - so you will get white muffins with chocolate filling.
Banana Muffins
Banana muffins deserve special attention. Both children and adults love them. Baking muffins with a banana is as easy as any other. To do this, we take the same ingredients as for classic muffins, adding to them at the same time 2-3 medium bananas. It is better to take overripe bananas, since they will be easier to grind.
So, knead the dough for muffins in the classic way.
In a separate container, soften overripe bananas with a fork (or whip them with a blender).
Combine banana puree with dough, mix well and fill the previously prepared molds, then send them to the oven.
For a brighter taste, you can cut bananas into slices and put them in the middle of the cupcakes a bit, then pour the remaining dough. We hope that with the help of our article you can cook delicious homemade muffins! Good appetite!
