Old Fashioned Bran Muffins image

I have loved Bran Muffins ever since I was a kid. Mom used to buy them from Van De Kamp's Bakery. This is a very moist version of what I remember.

OLD FASHIONED SWEET CORN MUFFINS



Old Fashioned Sweet Corn Muffins image

My husband and I were having this long discussion about corn bread of all things. He like jalapeno corn breads and other savory corn breads. While on the other hand I like sweet corn bread. Well that conversation sparked a craving for corn bread. Messed around a bit with some corn-meal and came up with these muffins. So basically...

Categories     Sweet Breads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 c all purpose flour
1 c yellow corn meal
1 c sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 1/3 c milk
1/3 c vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400'F
  • 2. Grease; or line with baking cups, one muffin pan.
  • 3. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, corn meal, salt, sugar and baking powder.
  • 4. Slowly mix in eggs, milk and vegetable oil. Beat with a hand mixer on high for 30 seconds.
  • 5. Let sit for 4 minutes before pouring out into muffin pan. (this waiting time will help the muffins crown a bit better in the end.)
  • 6. Pour out into muffin pan evenly.
  • 7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Eat them cooled or hot. They are awesome hot with some butter! I ate them with caramel sauce later on and it was awesome!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at the correct temperature. If the oven is too hot, the muffins will brown too quickly and be dry on the inside. If the oven is too cool, the muffins will take too long to bake and be undercooked.
  • Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before eating them. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Old-fashioned muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect muffins every time. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet and satisfying, give one of these recipes a try!
