RICH AND BUTTERY CORN MUFFINS
Made with plenty of melted butter and sour cream, these golden, lightly sweet corn muffins are moist, rich and delicately crumbly. If you can find coarsely ground cornmeal (as opposed the fine stuff that's on most supermarket shelves), you'll also get deep corn flavor and a pleasantly grainy texture. Serve these warm from the oven, slathered with even more butter, or halved and toasted under the broiler to crisp the surface. They'll even keep for a few days if you store them in the fridge, and freeze perfectly for up to a month.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees, and generously butter the cups and tops of a muffin tin. (The muffins will overflow, and those crisp edges are delicious.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together cornmeal, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt and baking soda.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, sour cream, milk and eggs. Fold butter mixture into dry ingredients, then scoop batter into muffin tin (it will be very full). Sprinkle each muffin top with Demerara sugar.
- Bake until golden on the edges, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then remove from muffin tin and cool to room temperature. Serve with even more butter.
RICH AND CHEWY PECAN PIE MUFFINS!
This recipe came from Trisha Yearwood, who married Garth Brooks and wrote a cookbook called Georgia Cooking in an Oklahoma kitchen with a forward by Garth Brooks himself! Gotta try these! :) Be sure to use paper liners in the muffin tins and spray them with nonstick spray; otherwise, they will crumble when you peel off the liners. This recipe also makes great mini muffins; just shorten the baking time by 5 minutes. You might also try using oat flour instead of all purpose for a healthier muffin.

FIBER RICH MUFFINS
A muffin recipe off the box of Hodgson Mill Hot Cereal. Surprisingly good. Not too sweet, not overly "fiber-y". I shredded the apples, peel and all. The cereal in this recipe has 18 grams of fiber per cup. So, since the nutritional information doesn't reflect the cereal, these muffins have at least 2 grams of fiber per muffin.

Steps:
- Line 12 muffin cups with paper liners or grease tins well.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Mix together flour, poppy seeds, salt, baking soda.
- In another bowl, using a mixer, cream together sugar and butter.
- Beat in eggs to the butter mixture one at a time,then beat in yogurt and vanilla.
- Hand stir together the dry mixture and the butter mixture just enough to moisten ingredients- there should still be some lumps (press out any big lumps with your spoon).
- Spoon into prepared muffin tins and bake 15-20 miutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool on wire racks.
Tips:
- Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
- Mash the bananas well: Make sure the bananas are mashed until smooth, with no large lumps.
- Use a combination of flours: Using a combination of all-purpose flour and whole wheat flour will give your muffins a more complex flavor and texture.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
- Bake the muffins at a high temperature: Baking the muffins at a high temperature will help them to rise quickly and evenly.
- Let the muffins cool completely before frosting them: This will help the frosting to set properly.
Conclusion:
Rich muffins are a delicious and versatile breakfast or snack. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can find a recipe that suits your taste. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make delicious rich muffins at home.
