Thanks Jeanette for sharing this muffin formula with me! I adapted to make blueberry muffins. I have become addicted to the ones at Tim Hortons but prefer to make them myself.
You will need 1 cup of yogurt and 1 cup of quick oats.
Stir together and let soak for 20 minutes.
Add 3/4 cup brown sugar, 1 egg and 1/2 cup of oil. Mix together.
Mix 1 cup flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt (my addition) and 1 cup of the fruit of your choice or chocolate chips. I added 1 cup of frozen blueberries. (For apple – shred 1 apple and add cinnamon. )
Combine wet and dry ingredients until just mixed together.
Divvy dough into well-greased or paper-lined muffin tins. Sprinkle brown sugar on top (which I forgot to do) and bake in a preheated 400F oven for 20 minutes. Makes 12 muffins.
I was worried these were going to be over-baked because they were so dark. I got them out of the tins right away and onto a cooling rack.
The brown crust was actually quite tasty and delicious and the muffins were very tender. Not exactly like Tim Hortons but pretty damn awesome and probably much healthier. Next time I probably will bake them longer at 375F instead and I insist you add the salt I recommended.
I give this recipe four out of five wooden spoons. Thanks Jeanette!
I am going to make these. They look so good. And yes, every muffin, ie., items need salt.
I hope you enjoy them Lucy and Wayne added 1/2 tsp of salt and turned down the heat in his convection oven and they turned out great. 🙂
Damn, now I want — no, NEED — muffins!
I feel your pain!
Made these myself this morning after an exchange with Suzie yesterday . Baked at 375 in convection oven in silicon pans . Bottoms were golden, the muffins were moist and VERY delicious. I boosted the salt to 1/2 tsp. which I’ve found to be the usual amount for recipes of this size. Like Suzie I forgot the sugar on top and my muffins were a little blond. Maybe next time a little sprinkle of Plantation Sugar will help .
That’s great Wayne, well done and next time I might do 1/2 tsp of salt too. I like them without the crumble but yes, some granulated sugar might be a good idea. Thanks for the update Wayne!
Blueberries and oats. I do that combo too. Gooooood stuff. And love the font you picked. Well done you.
I was surprised how well that combo worked! Thank you. I got that font via Flickr. 🙂
It been so hot I haven’t done any baking. But hopeful sometime I can get some blueberries planted. There so good.
Coffee is on
I can totally understand, if it’s hot then yeah, not making muffins. Been a little cooler and dark here but the humidity is horrid.
