SALMON AND CHIVE MUFFINS
I am posting this recipe in honour of my Recipezaar friend Latchy who sadly passed away in 2006. This was one of two recipes she gave me that she hadn't got round to posting. I have made these and would certainly have given her 5* for them had she posted the recipe. I hope you enjoy them too. :) I used a can of pink salmon and made some into normal size muffins as well as some mini size muffins.

- If you don't have chives, you can substitute green onions. Just be sure to use half the amount, as green onions are more pungent than chives.
- Use all-purpose flour for a classic muffin texture. For a gluten-free option, use a gluten-free flour blend.
- For a savory muffin, add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder or onion powder to the batter.
- For a cheesy muffin, add 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the batter.
- For a zesty muffin, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- For a sweet muffin, add 1/2 cup of sugar to the batter.
- For a moist muffin, use sour cream or yogurt instead of milk.
- For a crispy muffin top, brush the tops of the muffins with melted butter before baking.
- Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
