TO DIE FOR BLUEBERRY MUFFINS
These muffins are extra large and yummy with the sugary-cinnamon crumb topping. I usually double the recipe and fill the muffin cups just to the top edge for a wonderful extra-generously-sized deli style muffin. Add extra blueberries too, if you want!

BEST EVER BANANA MUFFINS
These are the only banana muffins I make now. I add chocolate chips to my batter and triple the recipe. These freeze great. I got this recipe from an old (1980's) Canandian cookbook called "Muffin Mania". (Prep time is a guess.)

BEST EVER (AND MOST VERSATILE) MUFFINS!
These are wonderful for just throwing in your favorite ingredients---I don't need any other muffin recipes. Editing to add, based on a recent review: Be sure not to overmix muffins; if you do, they will be tough. They should still be lumpy when you are finished mixing them.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your muffins will taste. If possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups evenly: This will help ensure that your muffins bake evenly.
- Bake the muffins at the right temperature: The ideal baking temperature for muffins is 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake them at a lower temperature, they will take longer to cook and may not rise properly. If you bake them at a higher temperature, they may brown too quickly and be dry.
- Don't overbake the muffins: Overbaking the muffins can make them dry and crumbly. Check them for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If the toothpick comes out clean, the muffins are done.
Conclusion:
Muffins are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a muffin that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy baking project, give one of these muffin recipes a try. You won't be disappointed!
