This is the second attempt at baking muffins the past two weeks. Sam is on muffin mode!!!! I was curious about making muffins that were not as greasy or cloyingly sweet like the ones sold in most shops. I also wanted muffins that are not that big. I am grossed out by extra large muffins big enough to feed three people.
For this batch I used unbleached whole wheat flour, reduced the quantity of butter, used raw sugar, frozen blueberries, and really ripe bananas. I also added some chopped Moroccan candied orange peels and Tahitian vanilla beans instead of the extract preferred by most recipes. Two scant cups of flour yielded 12 muffins.
I am still working on the recipe and would like to experiment with other mixes. I may just end up with a new batch of jalapeno cornbread and jack cheese muffins, or sweet potato and cinnamon muffins. I will post the recipes soon.
