Muffin Mania

Muffins Three Ways

UPDATED 2020

What do you do while you wait for a tropical storm to wear itself out? You can't go outside.  Make muffins! That's what happened yesterday.  I was at the lake alone with our cat.... and a carton of buttermilk.

A carton of buttermilk will make three batches of muffins ---  1 1/4 cups for each batch.  So I made three, knowing I would freeze them.

The basic muffin recipe I used is from the Yellow Farmhouse Cookbook. Then I made different flavor combinations based on what I had on hand.  You can use whatever inspires you. Overripe fruit works very well, because the flavors are intensified.

Banana goes well with coconut, so that would be my first.   A good use of overripe bananas.

Peaches go well with Allspice.  With brown sugar on top.  That would be number 2.   

For the third, I thought a cinnamon-raisin-bread-style muffin would be good.  So, I went heavy on the cinnamon and used sweet golden raisins. Extra sugar and cinnamon on top.  If you like cinnamon raisin toast, then you will like them.

Now I have lots of muffins in the freezer for guests!  And the storm blew over.
