I have tried a lot of muffin recipes and found that this is the best recipe if you want to add something like fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips. It is thick enough to allow the heaviest items to be suspended in the mixture until they are done baking rather than falling to the bottom.
You can add 1/3 cup of walnuts and chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of blueberries, 1/3 cup of cranberries and white chocolate chips, 1/3 cup of cocoa powder and 1/2 cup of espresso powder, 3 mashed bananas and 1/3 cup of butterscotch chips, 3 mashed bananas and 1/3 cup of cocoa and 1/2 cup espresso….the list goes on….
Combine dry ingrediants in a bowl, combine wet ingrediants in another. Then, combine all ingredients together…Spoon into muffin tins and bake at 400. Easy!
Note: This recipe is not *sweet* in and of itself…despite all the sugar. If you are adding just fruit without a chip I suggest adding 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to enchance the flavor. This is a basic recipe, a shell not intended to be made without adding something extra.
