Apple Muffins

I am sometimes influenced by some food blogs. Today, I found a picture of big apple chunks in muffins. I couldn't wait to try baking it. I went to the kitchen immediately and started to cut some apples. The muffins were simple but good when they were warm.

Raspberry Muffins

I baked raspberry muffins today. I added many raspberries, so some muffins exploded from the cups.

Cupcakes

I baked cupcakes with cream cheese frosting today. I didn't decorate them with any sprinkles but I should do it next time for fun!

Bran Muffins

I baked bran muffins today. I remembered my previous mistake when I used flour germ instead of bran. The flour germ muffins had a very strong taste and it was difficult to finish them. Today, I made sure the package was bran.

Blueberry Muffins

I baked blueberry muffins from my one of favorite recipes today. In the past, I have tried many different recipes for baking blueberry muffins, carrot cake, banana bread, raisin & oatmeal cookies, apple pie and cheese cake. From the many trails, I have chosen the best recipe for each of these. It was very fun to do. I now have a standard recipe for each of these baked goods.

Chocolate Muffins

I baked muffins today. I put chocolate cream in center of the batter. The chocolate cream came out while baking in the oven though, which gave the muffins a unique look. Their taste was also quite unique, but not in a good way.

Apple Sauce Muffins

I baked some apple sauce muffins today. I followed a basic Japanese muffin recipe and added apple sauce just before baking them in the oven.

Rum Raisin Muffins

I have kept some raisins in some rum for about 6 months. Today, I used some of them for making muffins.
The rum taste wasn't so strong, but I tasted the flavor of the rum raisins the next day.

Blueberry Muffins

When I bake muffins, I use two spoons to put the batter into the muffin cups but it is always messy. I really wanted to solve this problem. Luckily, my parents-in-law gave me an ice cream scoop for Christmas. This is what I needed! I also got a scoop for cookies that is one size smaller.
It is so much easier to scoop and drop the batter. Thank you Margaret and Doug!
I baked blueberry muffins today. This is my favorite recipe that I always use. I added a little cinnamon crumble on the top of the muffins.
I put some muffins into some brown paper bags that I received from Robin. Thank you Robin!

Caramel Coffee Muffins

I sometimes like to experiment when I bake. These experiments fail most of the time. I can't stop trying because it is fun, even though I have to eat strange cakes sometimes! Today, I baked banana muffins but I didn't add bananas. Instead of the bananas, I added brew coffee. On the top of the muffin batter I poured caramel cream. I tried one after it had baked. It didn't have any coffee taste but it wasn't so bad.

Banana Crumble Muffins

いつものバナナマフィンと同じですが、生地の上にもバナナを乗せたら、いつもより大きくおいしそうに見えます。

Steamed Sweet Potato Cakes

集まりに持って行った蒸しパンです。豆乳、卵白、小麦粉、砂糖、ベーキングパウダーを混ぜた白い生地に、角切りのさつまいもを混ぜ、アルミの容器に入れ蒸しました。ころころとした小さいものが、この大きなお盆に乗らないくらいできあがり、数えてみると60個くらいありました。

Blueberry Crumble Muffins

マフィン専用の焼き型を持っていないので、きのこのように頭の部分を大きな形にすることはできませんが、それでも型のふちまで生地を入れると焼き上がりが盛り上がり、型からはみ出して、少しだけきのこ形に近づきました。

Banana & Persimmon Muffins

いつもは3本のバナナを入れるところ、1本しか家に無く、代わりに熟した大きな柿をひとつ入れたら、これが大成功でした。水分が保たれ、柔らかくて、言葉通りふわふわのマフィンになりました。柿の甘みで砂糖を調整しながら入れたので、分量を忘れないように急いで書きとめました。

Banana Crumb Muffins

バナナ入りの生地を容器に入れてから、バターと砂糖と小麦粉を混ぜて上にのせました。大きめの型で焼いたら、表面が香ばしく堂々とした風情のマフィンになりました。

Persimmon Muffins

柿はそのまま剥いて頂くのが一番おいしいと思いながらも、毎年この季節になると柿のお菓子を作りたくなります。
焼いた柿は味が弱くなってしまいました。やはり柿のおいしさを生かした焼き菓子は難しいのでしょうか。

Lemon Raspberry Muffins

小麦粉、卵白、白砂糖、ヨーグルト、レモンを混ぜた白い生地に、木いちごを混ぜて焼きました。白色に赤色のいちごが映えます。

表面はこんがりと色づきましたが、中は真っ白です。ヨーグルトが入り食感がもっちりとして、レモンの酸味がさわやかな生地に、木いちごの味がよく合っていました。

Raisin Bran Muffins

先日のマフィンと同じ生地に干しぶどうを入れました。焼き上がりは底に沈んで見えない干しぶどうが、生地の水分を吸い、中で柔らかくなっていました。

Whole Grain Blueberry Banana Bran Muffins

全粒粉、ふすま、小麦胚芽、麦、これにきび砂糖とてん菜糖を混ぜます。
そこへ卵、牛乳、つぶしたバナナ、細かくしたくるみ、ブルーベリーを混ぜてオーブンで焼きました。
ブルーベリーとバナナからの水分でしっとりとした焼き上がりです。甘みが控えめで、たくさんの種類の穀物入りなので朝食にも良さそうです。

Earl Grey Tea Muffins

牛乳を多めに入れた、柔らかい生地に紅茶の葉を混ぜて焼くと、上は香ばしく、下は柔らかくできあがりました。
