Basic Brown Sugar Muffin Recipe

June 8, 2017 by Stacey 7 Comments

Basic Brown Sugar Muffin Recipe : a base mix you can customise with add-ins | Veggie Mama

The sun is shining (yay Melbourne winter!) and the birds are singing and I am trying not to eat all these brown sugar muffins I made the day before yesterday.

I mean, look at them – they’re basically bite-size, mostly muffin top, and they’re sitting in my pantry calling to me. This is probably because I haven’t eaten lunch.

Anyway, make some muffins, eh? I make them for school lunches (a variety of mix-ins, because I have one child who will cry for an hour if she finds one piece of fruit in her muffin) and they freeze well. You could also sub coconut or rapadura sugar for the brown, or even white if that floats your boat, though maybe reduce it a little as it’s sweeter than brown sugar.

My favourite are the raspberry, but you could also do blueberry or choc chip as above, lemon, lemon and coconut, white choc chip, banana, apple and cinnamon, pear, orange, mixed berry, whatever you’ve got on hand, really!

Other muffin recipes

If you’re looking for other muffins, I’ve got vegan raspberry, blueberry choc chip, savoury spinach and feta, banana date and coconut (dairy-free), banana-chia, wholemeal banana and peach (egg-free and refined sugar-free), banana strawberry, and simple muesli muffins. You won’t go hungry!

Description

These muffins are awesome for lunchboxes or afternoon tea, this basic brown sugar muffin recipe can be customised however you like.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup mild oil or melted butter
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1.5 cups self-raising flour
  • 3/4 cups brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 2 cups mix-ins
  • milk

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180C.
  2. In a small bowl or large jug whisk together the oil, milk, eggs and vanilla.
  3. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, and pinch of salt. If you are going to make chocolate muffins, add 1/4 cup cocoa in this step.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined – you should never over-beat muffin mix!
  5. Gently fold in your add-ins.
  6. Fill 24 mini-muffin hole tin or 12 regular-sized hole tin evenly with the mixture. Depending on your pan you may need to use liners, or to grease the wells.
  7. Make 15-25 minutes for mini, 20-25 minutes for regular muffins, until golden brown and a skewer poked through the middle comes out clean.
  8. Cool on a wire rack.

    I have been looking for a good muffin recipe so thank you! Can I please check the amount of flour – is 1/5 cup of flour correct? It doesn’t seem like a lot. Thanks 🙂

      You are welcome! So sorry, the software I use to upload the recipe had a bit of a tantrum – the flour is 1.5 cups, but do check the rest of the ingredients as they may have changed since the last time you looked x
