Notes

Recipe Tips:

Do not overmix or muffins may become dense.
Use room temperature milk and egg for better rise.
Toss berries in a tablespoon of flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking for a crunchy finish.
For bakery-style tops, start baking at 425°F for 5 minutes, then reduce to 400°F.
Muffins have endless flavor opinions. Use one cup of your favorite mix-ins, or choose from the table below.

Flavor	Description
Fruit	Blueberries, peaches, raspberries, cranberries, bananas
Nuts	Chopped pecans, walnuts, almonds
Chocolate	Chocolate or carob chips
Savory	Cheddar, mozzarella, bacon, sausage, ham, and fresh herbs such as thyme, rosemary, or chives.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve warm with butter and raw honey
Pair with farm-fresh scrambled eggs. Use my tips for cooking eggs in cast iron.
Add alongside soups or a hearty beef stew for dinner
Pack in lunchboxes for an easy snack
Serve with homemade yogurt and fresh fruit. I love this thick and creamy homemade yogurt recipe.

Storage Instructions:

Store sealed jars in a cool, dark pantry for up to 6 months.

Baked muffins should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. Or, freeze baked muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm gently in the oven.
