A no-fail easy muffin recipe! So quick, so easy, and they always just – work! What more do you need? πŸ˜‰Β  Simple changes discussed below can turn these basic muffins into almost anything you like.

This recipe is probably the most tried and true recipe in our collection because I make these muffins ALL. THE. TIME. I used to make them for my kids, but now my kids make them for me! (Honestly – how great is that?!)
Β 
And you *know* that I love to give you options to personalise my recipes, so have a look at the end under the ‘options’ heading because I’ve got loads of suggestions for you. Not only are these muffins easy – they’re versatile, too.
Β 
If you’re looking for something else that your kids can learn to make fairly easily, they will enjoy this lemon drizzle cake by Mary Berry and a banana bread with self rising flour is so easy to make my kids can do it all the time.

Options

SO many options with this recipe! This is an excellent basic muffin recipe, so you can use this to build a whole host of other recipes from here. Here are my suggestions for personalizing my recipe so that it suits you and your family:

  • Replace the chocolate chips with berries – raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, pieces of strawberry. (Just use a little less milk – about a tablespoon less – because of the moisture in the fruit.)
  • Substitute the banana for 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce.
  • Toss in a small handful of roughly chopped pecans or walnuts.
  • Switch out the chocolate chips for cut up dates.
  • Instead of mashed banana, try fork-mashing 1/4 cup mixed frozen berries – you’ll get a great swirl effect in the batter.
  • Sprinkle some granola mix on top of the muffins just 5 minutes before they’re finished.
  • For low-cal, use skim milk and replace the sugar with sweetener.

Until next time!
