Honey and yogurt muffins

A little bit chewy, very moisture and without a bit of sugar. Not everybody will like them. They are perfect for people who prefer mild sweetness. I think they are good for breakfast with glass of milk. The recipe comes form this website.

Ingredients for 12 muffins:

• 50g butter
• 75g honey
• 250ml yogurt
• 1 egg
• 1 lemon zest
• 1 lemon juice
• 150g flour
• 175g whole wheat flour
• 1 and 1/2 tsp soda
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• icing sugar for dusting

Preheat the oven to 190C.

Grease the muffin tin. I used muffin cases but I don't think it was good idea in case of this recipe. Muffins get stuck to the paper cases and it was hard to take them out.

Put the butter and honey into a sauce pan and heat up until butter melts. Stir well this mixture. Set aside.

Into a big bowl put the yogurt and egg and whisk them well. Add freshly grated lemon zest and squeezed lemon juice. Pour in cooled down melted butter. Mix all ingredients together.

Into a separate bowl sift the flours, soda and freshly grated nutmeg. Whisk all ingredients together. Then add them into  the bowl with wet ingredients. Mix all ingredients until just combined. 

Divide the batter evenly among the muffin tin holes about 3/4 full.

Bake 20-25 minutes until well risen and spongy. Test with toothpick if bake in the middle. Dust with icing sugar and enjoy :)

 

Snickerdoodle mini muffins

Those are one of my favourite muffins. Soft, nutmeg cake hidden inside crunchy cinnamon and sugar crust. They are perfect !

Not to mention that they are very easy to make :)

The recipe comes from this website.

Ingredients for 30 mini muffins:

• 113g margarine or butter
• 113g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp soda
• 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
• 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
• 125g thick sour cream
• 300g flour

Ingredients for cinnamon sugar coating:

• 100g sugar
• 1/2 tbsp cinnamon

To make cinnamon sugar coating sift the cinnamon and sugar into a small bowl and mix them together. Set aside.

Put the butter, sugar and vanilla into electric mixer bowl and beat together until smooth. Add the egg and beat until well incorporated

In a meantime sift the flour, baking powder, soda, cream of tartar and nutmeg into a bowl and whisk together. 

When the wet ingredients mixture is smooth and creamy start adding the dry ingredients alternately with sour cream. When batter is ready set aside.

Preheat the oven to 190C. Grease mini muffin tin. Do not use the paper cases as the cinnamon and sugar crunchy crust may stick into the paper.

Take the bowl with batter and small bowl with cinnamon sugar. With a small spoon form small balls of batter, place them one by one into sugar mixture. Cover evenly with sugar and drop each into each muffin tin hole.

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy warm and cooled. :)
