Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil or spray a 12-hole muffin tin Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, herbal salt substitute, oregano, thyme, and basil in a large mixing bowl.

FRESH HERB MUFFINS



Fresh Herb Muffins image

This is a great savory muffin recipe that I modified from chocolateandzucchini.com. These are a flavorful alternative to a dinner roll and would be great on a picnic or at a bridal shower! Also, feel free to substitute with other herbs! I even "cheated" on a batch and used 2 Tbs of Gourmet Garden Italian herbs--and the muffins still tasted great! (When using Gourmet Garden, I suggest adding it when the pesto is added.) Enjoy!

Yield Makes 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives or green onion tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
2 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
Melted butter

Steps:

  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 350°F. Butter 12 standard-size (1/3-cup volume) muffin cups or line cups with muffin papers. Whisk first 4 ingredients in large bowl to blend well. Whisk buttermilk, eggs, sour cream and oil in medium bowl to blend; whisk in herbs and lemon peel. Stir buttermilk mixture into flour mixture. Divide batter among prepared cups. Brush tops lightly with melted butter.
  • Bake muffins 20 minutes. Brush tops with butter. Continue baking until golden on top and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 15 minutes longer. Turn muffins out onto rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of herbs to create a flavorful muffin. Some good options include rosemary, thyme, oregano, and chives.
  • Be sure to chop the herbs finely before adding them to the batter. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the muffin.
  • If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just be sure to use about half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) for about 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
