CHOCOLATE-CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line one 12-muffin tin with paper liners and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl.
• Lightly whisk the eggs in a second medium bowl. Whisk in the brown sugar, sour cream, applesauce, oil and vanilla.
• Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry with a rubber spatula. Just before the batter comes together, fold in the chocolate chips (it's okay if there are lumps in the batter). Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and cool completely on a rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE STREUSEL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Place the coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave to melt. (On my microwave, this takes about 90 seconds on 40% power.) Set aside.
• Place the flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt in a medium bowl and stir to combine.
• Pour in the melted coconut oil and toss together with a fork until crumbly.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F, and line a muffin tin with papers.
• Place the ground flax seed and water in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave to melt. (On my microwave, this takes about 90 seconds on 40% power. Set aside.
• Place the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips in a large bowl and stir to combine.
• Place the Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Almondmilk in a large liquid measure, and stir in the sugar and extracts.
• Stir in the flax mixture, and pour the liquid into the dry ingredients.
• Stir together briefly, until just a few streaks of flour remain.
• Pour in the coconut oil and stir together until just combined. The batter will be lumpy.
• Fill each well of the muffin tin about 2/3 full, and top with the reserved streusel.
• Bake for 5 minutes at 425 degrees F, then turn the oven temperature down to 350 degrees F (without opening the oven door), and continue to bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until a bamboo skewer inserted in the thickest part of a muffin comes out clean.
• Cool completely and dust with powdered sugar, for garnish.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 375. Line regular muffin tins with 24 paper liners or line extra large muffin tins with 12 paper liners. To make topping, in mixer, fitted with paddle attachment, mix the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon and mix on low speed. Add butter and mix on low speed til crumbly. Mixture will look sandy at first, and then will bind into crumbs. This may take several minutes, so keep mixing til larger crumbs form. Add the chocolate chips and mix just til they are dispersed. You can make this topping in advance and keep it in an airtight container in refrigerator for up to a week. To make muffins, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda and salt in a bowl. Set aside. In bowl of mixer, (no need to wash the bowl after making the topping) fitted with whip attachment, beat butter on medium speed til it is light and fluffy. Then add sugar and mix well. Mix in the eggs, one at a time, and then mix in the vanilla. Add a third of the dry ingredients and mix til barely combined. The mix in a third of the sour cream. Repeat til all dry ingredients and sour cream are added and mixed til just combined. Scoop batter into lined muffin tins, filling them about halfway. Spoon topping onto tops of the muffins. Bake til muffins are cooked through and the topping is golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes for regular muffins, 25 to 30 minutes for extra large muffins. Serve warm or at room temperature. Makes 24 regular or 12 large muffins

RASPBERRY & WHITE CHOCOLATE CRUMBLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 and line a 12-hole muffin tin with paper cases. Put all of the crumble topping ingredients in a bowl along with a pinch of salt and rub together using your fingertips until you have a crumbly mixture.
• For the muffins, beat the butter and sugars together for 5 mins until pale and fluffy. Add the eggs gradually, beating until combined. Mix in the yogurt, vanilla and milk.
• Fold in the flour, baking powder and a pinch of fine salt until you have a smooth batter. Finally, fold in the raspberries and the white chocolate chips and fill the muffin cases leaving a little gap at the top. Cover the muffins with a layer of the crumble topping and bake for 10 mins, then reduce the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and bake for 25-30 mins more until risen and golden, and a cocktail stick inserted into the centre comes out clean.

CHOCOLATE CHIP CRUMB CAKE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners (the foil ones are my favorite, but any will do).

RASPBERRY CRUMBLE MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• MUFFINS: Beat together the egg, milk, lemon zest and oil in a medium bowl.
• Mix together in a separate bowl the baking powder, white sugar, 1.5 cups sifted flour and 1/2 t. salt. Stir into the wet ingredients just until the dry ingredients are moist, about 8 rotations. Add raspberries; stir about 2-3 more times.
• Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full.
• STREUSEL TOPPING: Stir together the remaining flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and oatmeal. Cut in with a pastry blender the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
• Sprinkle topping over each muffin.
• Bake 20-25 minutes. Remove from pan immediately. Makes about 12.
• NOTE: The key to making a truly tender muffin is in NOT overmixing your batter. Stir it as little as possible. It's OK if the batter is somewhat unevenly mixed; it "corrects" itself in baking. Sifting the dry ingredients lends to the light texture, so don't neglect this step, either. Use either a traditional sifter, or a mesh strainer to sift your ingredients.
• Try a Microplane grater for your lemon zest, or a Messermeister zester/channel tool. I find these to be the easiest way to get fresh zest from citrus. Use only the colorful exterior of the lemon-- the white peel part adds only bitterness.

RASPBERRY-CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 350°F Lightly grease (or line with cupcake papers) a 12-cup square or standard muffin pan; or lightly grease a silicone muffin pan.
• Prepare the crumb topping by mixing the ingredients together until very moist and crumbly. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the melted margarine, milk, and eggs. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and chocolate chips. Add the dry mixture to the liquid and stir until combined.
• Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Push three small or two large raspberries down into the top of the batter; they don't need to be covered by batter. Sprinkle with the crumb topping, using a slightly heaped tablespoon for each muffin.
• Bake the muffins for 20 to 25 minutes, until they are golden brown and feel set when you touch them in the middle. Remove them from the oven, and let them stand for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
