Basic Plain Muffin Mix - add your own favourite flavour.

[Nay-nay]

Can you have too many muffin recipes on here??   No - I didn't think so.  
Plain Muffins
300g Flour
3tsp baking powder
50g sugar
1 egg
250g milk
50g butter
Add all ingredients and mix on speed 4-5 for 15 secs
I used this basic mix to use up some stewed Rhubarb I had in the fridge by putting a tbsp of mix in paper/tin then adding tbsp of rhubarb then topping with more mixture. I also have done this with Rosella jam and worked well too.
Other Variations include:
adding 1 cup of cheese to make Cheese muffins
adding 1/2 cup of chopped dates, craisins, sultans etc for fruit muffins
or adding grated orange rind and 50g of orange juice (reducing milk to 200g) for orange muffins

CC - Made these this morning to take to my weekly morning upholstery class. Thumbs up from all the group Nay-nay. The cheese ones have now been requested by the group.

Carrie - Just made these this morning, with mixed frozen berries. Very yummy. Next time I'll buzz the larger strawberries up a bit first maybe... they're quite chunky in the mix but then it does go lovely and gooey where they are so maybe not! A little bit of jam in the mix before the berries would have been nice too, to give the mixture a nice flavour too. Thanks for the recipe Nay!
Made these again today with a banana and 40g choc chips. DS will love them.

Nay-nay - Mmmm.....just tried reducing milk to 150g and added 100g of cranberry juice and a couple handfulls of dried cranberries.....Yummy! I have done coconut before and I just added about 60g and a tbsp of coconut oil so just add in your coconut and see what the mix looks like to you and add a little milk if you think.

BZB - Choc chips & raisins for my little man. Added raspberries for his big bros. Turned out quite dry. Prefer CreamPuff's posting for muffins.

Thanks for this Nay-Nay. I like the idea of the rhubarb as I still have a bit left. It would be a lovely change too.

Good work Nay-nay.  So simple and great variations.

Now you are just rubbing it in by putting that rosella jam in there

Wow - That's great! What a nice warm feeling that gives me to think someone so far away is enjoying something I wrote up!

Thanks for this basic recipe Nay-Nay. I just tried converting my basic muffin recipe from my Australian Women's Weekly cookbook. It has much more butter/sugar than this one - so will definitely be trying this one next.

If I was to add coconut (as we love lemon/coconut muffins) how much would you suggest so it doesn't make the mix too dry? Or would you increase the milk?

Thanks.

This recipe should be in the basic cooking thread if we had one.

Thanks for posting I am sure it will be used by beginner and experts

I will be adding some potato and rosemary to mine next time I have a little mashed potatoes left
