Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh basil and red peppers will give your muffins the best flavor. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried basil. You can also use roasted red peppers from a jar, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups evenly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full. This will help the muffins bake evenly.
  • Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the muffins cool before serving: Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

Basil red pepper muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or breakfast treat. They're perfect for on-the-go breakfasts, packed lunches, or afternoon snacks.
