Crazy Muffins: One Muffin Recipe with Endless Flavor Variations!
Hi Bold Bakers!
Welcome to a brand new year of Bigger BolderBaking.
We are kicking things off with some crazydough.
Now a lot of you know my crazy dough series,it is one dough, endless possibilities.
Be it cookies, cupcakes, even bread dough.
Right now we are going to make some crazymuffins, one recipe and loads of different
muffin flavors.
So we are going to start out by making ourbatter in a large bowl.
Add in your flour, sugar, baking powder, bakingsoda, and some salt, and then whisk all these
ingredients together.
One of the reasons I love this recipe is becauseit can be mixed all by hand.
You don't need a stand mixer or an electrichand mixer, so it’s really easy.
I'm going to set my dry ingredients asideand we’re going to mix together our wet
ingredients.
Into your jug add your flavorless oil, eggs,buttermilk, and vanilla extract and then whisk
all of these ingredients together.
So a few notes about some of these ingredients.
If you don't use eggs I put a substitute thatyou can use on my website, BiggerBolderBaking.com,
also I have a great way to make your own buttermilkif you don't have any and it’s really, really
simple.
Okay, this is all mixed up, I'm going to bringback in my dry ingredients, and then just
pour this straight in there.
And now just whisk it all together until youform your batter.
So now you know when you go to a coffee shopand you get a giant big muffin and it’s
really moist and crumbly, that’s exactlywhat this recipe is.
The buttermilk makes them really soft, alsothe addition of oil keeps them really moist,
I absolutely love this recipe.
So now that I have my muffin batter mixed,this is the base that you can add anything
to.
The world is your oyster, when it comes toflavoring your muffins.
Over here I have some muffin accoutrements,and these are just things that I had in the
cupboard and in the fridge, I have some raisins,cinnamon, oats, just a few things to pop into
your muffins.
The first muffin I'm going to show you howto make is a lemon and poppy seed muffin.
Into a small bowl, add a generous scoop ofyour muffin batter, then add in some poppy
seeds, and then next I'm going to grate inthe zest of a lemon.
That smells really great!
Now with a spoon just mix all of these ingredientstogether.
So there you go, a lemon and poppy seed muffin,that's how easy it is to customize your own
flavors.
So now I'm just going to go through all ofmy bowls and I am going to come up with some
crazy muffin flavors.
The next flavor we’re going to make is ablueberry oatmeal muffin.
Just like before, add in your big scoop ofmuffin batter, then into there I'm going to
add in some fresh blueberries, you can alsouse frozen blueberries, they work really well
too.
And then next, some rolled oats, you don'twant steel cut oats, you want rolled ones.
So in you go.
Give it a quick stir, combine all those lovelyflavors.
And there you have blueberry oatmeal muffin.
So now I'm going to set this to the side andthe next flavor we’re going to make is one
of my favorites, it’s a carrot cake muffin.
So into your bowl add your muffin base, thenI'm going to add in some grated carrot, a
few raisins, because I love raisins in mycarrot cake, and some cinnamon, because you've
got to have cinnamon in there.
And then simply mix all these ingredientstogether.
So now if you end up making these, or evenany of my recipes, you can leave a review
on my website and it let’s other bold bakersknow if it worked, what you liked about it,
just to really bring the community together.
So there you go another easy muffin recipedone.
Now the next one we’re going to move onto is one of my favorites because it’s really
moist and sweet at the same time, it is abanana nut muffin.
So now for this recipe you want to mash somebanana in your bowl, I like to use a fork
to do this just because it gets it reallynice and fine.
Okay, so now on top of this I'm going to addsome of my muffin batter, and then here I
have some toasted nuts.
Now I love toasted pecans, but you can usewalnuts, hazelnuts, anything you like.
Okay, in you go.
Nuts and banana go really well together.
And then just stir it all together.
I'm really looking forward to trying thisone because I love mashed banana, but we’re
going to move on to our next flavor, whichis apple and cinnamon.
You know the drill at this stage, into yourbowl add in your muffin batter.
Then into this we’re going to add some gratedapple, now this makes your muffin really lovely
and soft.
So into this I'm going to add in some groundcinnamon, because apple and cinnamon go so
well together, a little bit like peanut butterand jelly.
So one question that’s very common is canyou use whole-wheat flour instead of white
flour, and you can do that for this recipeand it will work really well and your muffins
will taste great.
Okay so another flavor down, I'm going toset this aside and we are going to move on
to the biggest and boldest muffin yet.
It is a double chocolate muffin.
So into your bowl goes the muffin base, theninto this we’re going to add rich lovely
cocoa powder.
Now I like to use unsweetened cocoa powderin case your recipe has sugar in it, you don't
want it too sweet.
So next we’re going to add in some chocolatechips, and that's what makes this a double
chocolate chip muffin.
And then stir these together until your cocoais fully combined.
So there you go we have all of these muffinflavors, now it’s time to get them into
the tin and into the oven.
Take your muffins and fill your tin all theway to the top.
Now I like to make sure that these are reallylovely and big, so don't be afraid to go all
the way up to the line.
One thing I love about the crazy dough isthat if you're feeling like something a little
bit richer and dark you can have a chocolatemuffin, if you're feeling something a little
bit more fruity, you can have the apple one,you really can customize them to any flavor
that you like.
You'll notice that I’m spreading these outin my muffin tin because I don't want them
to bake into each other, so I’m giving themall they're own space.
Just check that out!
One muffin recipe, six different flavors.
These guys are ready to be baked off.
Bake your muffins off at 350 degrees Fahrenheitor 180 degrees Celsius, for roughly 20 to
25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Just check these out!
They look amazing!
You can tell that they're done because they'reall golden brown on top and if you give them
a little push in the middle, they're firmunderneath your finger.
Once your muffins have cooled down, for around5-10 minutes, go ahead and take them out of
the tray.
So now here’s the tough part of my job,which one am I going to try?
I think the blueberry and oats is screamingmy name.
So I'm going to cut that down the middle.
Just look at how beautiful that looks on theinside, and if you give it a little bit of
a press there, you see how soft and moistthe center is, which is exactly what you want
from a muffin.
So now I'm going to pick myself off a littlebit, oh my gosh, I have to say this is one
of the best muffin recipes I’ve ever tried.
Mm.
