I thought this would be fun? It seems muffins have made a huge comeback in urban centers. Walk in any coffee shop and you'll see muffins. So I'd love to add to my receipes.
Time to give out your favorite muffin receipe.
Mine will be posted tomorrow. Yet if you read the Favorite Cookbooks post of mine today you know I have Muffin Mania. Search the web, didn't find the book, but did find my favorite banana muffin receipe on this webpage:

This is actually a recipe for a sweet bread, but it is my new favorite and I'm sure you could pour it into muffin tins, adjust the cooking time and enjoy. I think it is the pineapple that really puts it over the top. It is especially good topped with some cream cheese. I can't wait until my zuchinni comes in!! It's so good I'm going to try their other recipes too.

My favorite recipe is one that, unfortunately, don't make often enough. My auntie and I call them Poop Muffins. I know, it sounds attrocious, but they are excelent! They are bran muffins made with raisins (though, I abhor raisins, so I use Craisins) But I think only fresh out of the oven, with butter spread on. I don't know for sure where the recipe is at the moment, but as soon as I find it, I'll post it for you girls to try. I got the recipe from my Auntie.
My favorite muffin of all time, though is the apple bran muffin from the Cracker Barrel. Especially hot and with lots of butter!!!  |

Your apple muffins sound wonderful!! Here are my favorites - Cinnamon Puffins. Totally decadent and fattening. You can either eat them or string them together and wear them around your hips - because that is where they are going to end up anyway! Happy eating!

Ooh! Those look good. Here's another one for good ol' blueberry muffins, but made vegan and low-fat. We just got a whole flat of blueberries from our CSA tonight, so I guess we'll be eatin' blueberry muffins for a while! (And blueberry smoothies, maybe a pie, straight out of the box...yum!!!)

Vegan Blueberry Muffins - from Vegetarian Times Magazine, a long time ago
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 Tbsp aluminum-free baking powder
3/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup Earth Balance soy margarine
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 1/2 cups soy milk
1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh blueberries
1 Tbsp maple sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil standard muffin tin and set aside. Combine flours, baking powder and salt in a large bowl, stir well with a wire whisk. Whisk together soy margarine, maple syrup, and brown sugar in a medium bowl until creamy. Add soy milk. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add liquid mixture. Using rubber spatula, fold dry ingredients into liquid until just thoroughly moistened, do not over mix. Spoon a generous tablespoon of batter into each cup of the muffin tin. Fold blueberries into remaining batter (which will be fairly stiff). Continue filling muffin cups with blueberry batter. Stir together maple sugar and cinnamon, sprinkle on top of each muffin. Bake until toothpick inserted into muffin comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Remove tin from oven, let rest for 5 minutes. Run table knife around each muffin to loosen and remove muffins from tin to a wire cooling rack.

I'd love to find a recipe for muffins made using home ground wheat flour. I have some great bread recipes, but nothing for muffins.

Sarah,
I make all my muffins whole wheat and I just substitute the whole wheat flour for whatever kind of flour the recipe calls for. I also do this with my pancakes and most of my cookie recipes. Sometimes I only use half whole wheat flour if I feel like the whole wheat flour is to heavy for the recipe I am making. All these recipes sound great and I am printing them all and I can't wait to try them.

Ouch, you weren't joking about pricey! No way would I pay that amount. This person is mad, even if it is signed.
