Best ever muffins is no empty boast. I didn’t know how to make muffins, now I do and they’re great. I use walnut oil in them and this adds a nice nutty flavour. Yummy! Thanks Lori!

I tried this with cheese and cranberrys
and it was so good! I baked early in the
morning because they are perfect for
breakfast! -
These truly are the BEST EVER MUFFINS!!! I added mashed bananas and made a banana bread. It turned out moist and spongie… brought it in to work and everyone raved about it!! My compliments to Lori… these are wonderful!!
-
This muffin recipe really is the best. I got some strawberries from a farmer’s market and added it to the recipe, soooo goood!! This is my basic muffin recipe from now on!
-
I’m not sure what went wrong but something did.
I made the basic recipe and added 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.
It never seemed to cook through and were
somewhat too dense. I want to try them again, allowing them to cook longer than the alloted time and maybe use fruit instead of chocolate chips.
I was so disappointed since I promised these muffins to the children of a friend of mine!! -

These were delicious and easy. I added one mashed banana and they came out great.
-
This is a good basic muffin recipe.Really quick and easy. Kids would have enjoyed it more if I had added chocolate chips.
-
This is a very good basic recipe. I added in two banannas. I also added the topping from the “To die for blueberry muffins” to these, which made them very extra special.
-
yummerssssss!!! great by themselves . i put one tbsp of jam in middle. i also dipped some in sugar/butter and powdered sugar too. easy cheesy!
-
Made these this morning for breakfast.. sliced with strawberry jelly in the center and my kids loved them! Thanks for a great recipe 🙂

These muffins received a warm reception. I made one batch with cinnamon added and then I added 6 oz. of chocolate chips to another batch. I also dipped them in melted butter and then a cinnamon and sugar mixture.
-
Great recipe! I added a 1 cup of chopped cranberries and they turned out excellent! I bought a bag of Hershey’s Cinnamon Chips and will add those to my next batch!

I’m assuming mine didn’t turn out correctly by the raves everyone else has given this recipe. They weren’t anything special….I might try it again just to be fair.

I thought this was a very good and versatile recipe. I have already used it several times and have not been disappointed.

I’m with Theresa. Nothing special. I followed the basic recipe and added blueberries. I found them to be average tasting.

These are the best!!! I have made them many times now, and I must say my kids liked it best with chocolate chips but I liked them best with orange peel and coconut added. I also made them once with diced apples, that was very good too! I have given this recipe to friends as they ask for it after having a muffin — I like to have them made up and ready for my children when they come home from school — makes a terrific snack! They are wonderful! I actually threw out my other muffin recipes!
-
it’s easy to make and i add some chocolate chips, more better at the second time.
-
Brilliant recipe! I added peach pieces – it was delicious!
-
I LOVE this recipe! I have added a new twist to it for luxurious flavour… try adding two squares of white chocolate (chopped up) and one cup of mixed berries for a heavenly taste. My dad loved them so much he wanted to learn how to make them himself!
-
I made this recipe with bananas and it turned out VERY well. I’ll be trying peaches next with a little of the juice added, but for the skeptics out there, this really is a good recipe – give it a try.

This is a great recipe. Because everyone at our house likes different kinds of muffins, I stirred in different items after putting the batter in the muffin tins. This worked out great, we had a batch of peach-pecan, peanut butter chips and chocolate chips!
-
I love these muffins! I didn’t add anything to the recipe and they were wonderful. I enjoy baking but nothing turns out right…these muffins came out perfect.
-
These didn’t turn out so great (perhaps because I overbaked them a bit), but I am going to try them again. I loved the simplicity of the recipe.

This basic muffin recipe was great. I added half a cup of porridge oats and half a cup of raisins and the result was yummy. I will now try them with walnuts and apples and a slight touch of cinnamon. They are very quick and simple to make

I’ve been using this recipe for two years now, trying it with a variety of additions. My stepmunchkins love it when I make these muffins with just about anything in them, but the latest favorite is cinnamon covered raisins. They eat them for breakfast and then request them for an after-school snack. I give this recipe 10 thumbs up (hey, two thumbs for each family member)!
-
absolutely delicious. I just sprinkled a little cinnamon sugar on top and they were delicious. My kids wanted to know if I could make them every night. I look forward to trying different variations of additions.
-
I just made this recipe for the first time, adding 3-4 heaping teaspoons of peanut butter to the batter and a teaspoon of grape jelly to the middles before baking…DELICIOUS!! My 3 1/2 year old loves them and even helped me make them! I can’t wait to experiment more with additions and maybe even toppings!

Absolutely fantastic!!! I went out the same day to buy the big, bakery muffin tin for next time!!!

Thank You Lori
This is now our favourite muffin recipe.
Do try adding three quarters cupful of frozen raspberries or blackcurrants, plus three quarters cupful of chopped Nestle white chocolate. The resulting two contrasting flavours just have to be experienced. If choc melts, try slightly lower temp next time, to retain as bits, if preferred.

wonderful recipe! we used melted butter instead of oil and we added wallnuts and cherry marmelade. we will do it again!
-
I agree this is a great base recipe. You can add whatever your heart desires. I actually did the blueberry the first time and added more than called for and they were wonderful. Thank you for the great recipe.

Holy moly! I didn’t do anything fancy with these (considering the lack of supplies in my college apartment) but the simplicity of the recipe and the absolute TASTINESS are so good! I only have a 6-cup tin and they got done in about 20 minutes in my oven. Deeeeeeelicious :-9
-
I eliminated the sugar completely and added applesauce, raisens and nuts to make a very “legal” muffin for diabetics. They loved them.

This is so wonderful and easy. My first batch was cranberry-pecan (Craisins, actually). Turned out perfect, even in those cheap tin muffin pans from the grocery. I’ll be investing in a real pan because this is so fun to think of all the combinations!! Thank you Lori!
-
Excellent base recipe for all kinds of muffins. It adapted really well so several substitutions: I used vanilla soy milk in place of milk, and honey in place of sugar. I also added two bananas, cinnamon, and sprinkled oatmeal on top. They turned out fabulous! Thanks for the great recipe!

Yup! This was good! A basic, hearty muffin. I used raisins and raisins plus a FEW chocolate chips. I will certainly try the other additions, too!
-
yummy! I put banana’s and mini-chocolate chips in. My family loved them!
-
these muffins have a very bland tast.
-
Excellent recipe. For those watching their fat intake, I used no fat sour cream instead of the
oil, and it makes them very moist. I also throw in some frozen blueberries for the antioxidant benefit, and hey, they taste great too! A keeper recipe. -
I had to make 225 muffins for our church Easter Brunch and this recipe was great!!!I scaled it to 36 servings and made it with five different additions. One with MILK chocolate chips, another with raspberries and struesel topping,blueberry and pineapple with coconut extract. I made a glaze with pineapple juice and topped it with a little coconut. they tasted like little pina colada muffins. Everybody loved them!!

GREAT!!! I changed it a little I used 1/2 cup of milk and 3/4 cup of applesauce instead of oil.
Also I added a small mashed banana to the batter.
Fill the muffin cups half full and add some chopped stawberries to some, chopped apples to some and dried blueberries to have a little variety. A great on-the-go breakfast for my husband who is on the road all day. -

Thank you for sharing this recipe, Lori. It live up to its name as the “BEST EVER”!!! I added sultanas – taste great, they looked great too!
-
Very easy recipe! I tried a savory muffin first using cheddar, bacon and garlic and would definately cut down on the sugar. 3/4 cup is way too much for a savory muffin. As a blueberry or chocolate chip, they’re perfect!
-
These muffins were O.K. Not the best ever. I might try them again after I’ve tried some other recipes first.

This is the best all-purpose muffin recipe ever!! I substitute 1/2 wheat flour for white, and I’ve added bananas and vanilla; blueberries, peaches and cinnamon; the combinations are endless.
-
These are wonderful. I added bacon and cheese for breakfast on the run. I followed a previous review and reduced the sugar to 1/4 cup, which was plenty. I think next time I’ll add a little more salt.
-
THESE WERE SOOOOO GOOD! I SUBSTITUTED 4OZ OF APPLESAUCE FOR THE OIL, EGG BEATERS FOR THE EGG, & USED SKIM MILK. FOR THE BATCH I MADE LAST NIGHT, I USED SOME LEFT OVER DRIED PEACHES ALONG WITH SOME CANNED PEACHES & A LITTLE OF THE JUICE, CHOPPED UP IN THE FOOD PROCESSOR. I ADDED A LITTLE CINNAMON TO THE MIX & SPRINKLED THE TOP W/CINNAMON SUGAR BEFORE BAKING! TASTED JUST LIKE PEACH COBBLER!! I THINK I WILL USE SOME OF MY HOMEMADE BLACKBERRY PRESERVES IN THE NEXT BATCH!
-
Indeed these are the best ever muffins!! And soo versatile!! I made one batch with an apple, peeled and shredded with a tsp of cinnamon and tsp of vanilla. I made another batch with frozen blueberries. Oh sooooo good! Love this one folks! And since they’re so easy, will make again and again (and keep experimenting)! A+++ Thanks Lori!

I really enjoyed these muffins. However, I made them with just 1/2 cup sugar as I was filling mine with chocolate chips and raisins (and they turned out sweet enough, just as I expected). I’ll be trying a batch with pomegranates soon and another one with tuna and black olives for a party I’ll be attending soon.

-
this is a great, solid, basic muffin recipe. i have made beautiful muffins each time (about 5 times now), but they are not as moist as i’d like them. next time i’ll try substituting applesauce for oil and see how they turn out.
-
This is an excellent recipe! I made a batch with poppy seeds and lemon extract. The next batch was chocolate chip. I plan to try other variations. This is very versatile and they came out great!

I love this recipe as i can add anthing in want to it.

Thank you for an easy muffin mix as this was the only place you can get it from.

Very easy recipe and delicious muffins. Never made muffins before. I made them with frozen blueberries (not in season) and they were the hit of breakfast. Thanks for the recipe.

I made.. LOTS of muffins today. At first I just knew Idd do something wrong (Ive never had much luck with muffin making.) But comming out of the oven and split open, they were light and fluffy.
I was so excited I didnt screw it up I made a few batches. I’ve already sent this one to a few family and friends. Thank you for this one! 🙂 -

These were the BEST EVER muffins. This was my first time ever baking muffins so I was nervous. But it was so simple. I didn’t have the paper cups so I spayed Pam cooking oil on the pan. I only made them plain so far but I am planning on using blueberries. Sprinkling cinnamon and sugar on the top before baking is sooooo good. I would reccomend these to any one. Thank you so much Lori!!!
-
this is the best!! I increased oil to 1/3 cup added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, added 1 cup milk chocolate chips. Baked for 20 min. I can’t wait to try other variations. This is a keeper!

I wanted to make a savory muffin for quick breakfasts. I subbed 1 cup of wheat flour for 1 cup of the white and only used 1/4 cup of sugar. Added two scrambled eggs, 1/4 cup mozzarella, 6 oz cooked italian sausage, and 1/4 cup of mushrooms. They came out perfect! Not crumbly at all, and not dense or cakey. Truly a winner!
-
I was impressed by the reviews but mine didnt quite turn out! I added oats and raisins but they turned out un-risen and dense- like little rock cakes! Perhaps I’ll just use self-raising flour next time. I also had to add a fair bit more milk than directed, to accomodate the extra dry ingredients. Because of the great reviews though I will try again.
-
I was pleased with these muffins. I put lemon extract and poppyseeds in half the batch and blackberry jam in the other. (I think I may have put too much jam in them though because they didn’t rise as much as the lemon.) Thanks for submitting such a versatile recipe!

Not normally a baker of sweet things, I tried this recipe for my husband. I used a cup of white chocolate and the muffins were superb. Then I tried the savoury ideas and it worked brilliantly. Thank you so much. It’s brilliant.

These were wonderful! They turned out better than any mix I’ve ever tried. I used “craisins” (about 1 cup), about 1/2 cup of sliced almonds and 1/2 tsp. of pure almond extract. They really were GREAT!

I’ve never made muffins before, and excluding my first attempt (I stirred the batter with a wooden spoon instead of a fork, resulting in a dense goo), they turned out great, especially considering the simplicity of the recipe. I made a few alterations; I used applesauce instead of oil and vanilla soy milk instead of regular milk and they turned out great, without a noticable difference in taste. I used frozen blackberries for my addition, and I got very positive reviews from my friends. All around great recipe.

These were pretty good. I made them today with my 6 yr old and let him put whatever he wanted in his half. He did milk chocolate chips with cinnamon in them and said they were really good. I did mine with frozen cranberries, pecans and a touch of almond extract. I think my favorite part was being able to let my son have his own free reign on what he wanted to do. Thanks for the great recipe and very cherished family time that I will always remember.

Not too bad, a bit dry though. I followed the suggestion and added more oil, but a bit more would have been better (1/2 cup maybe). I made mine with chocolate chips. I will try this again maybe with some blueberries.

Excellent. You could do almost anything with this recipe as a starter. I made 2 batches, one with 1 cup chocolate chips, kids loved them, and the other with a well drained tin of crabmeat and 2 Tbs. chopped red pepper.They were awesome!

AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! These are the BEST muffins I have ever made! They are very moist, light, and fluffy. I used 1/3 cup oil instead of 1/4 cup and I also added vanilla, nutmeg, cinnamon, and chocolate chips. And instead of making 12 I made 5 jumbo muffins. Perfect!

I have a daughter who has severe dairy and egg allergies. I have tried multiple recipes with poor results. This one was excellent! My husband and other daughter even loved them. I substituted egg replacer for the egg, used soy milk for the milk and added one and a half cups of frozen blueberries. They turned out perfect. My daughter and I thank you for a great recipe!

These are great muffins..I added chopped apple & cinnamon, but they’re good plain as quickie dinner rolls. Next time I might throw in some herbs and cheese.

Wonderful and so easy to take on variations. Worked great with blackberries 🙂

These muffins were very good. I used skim milk and applesauce in place of the oil to make them a little healthier. I’m glad I found this recipe.

The best basic muffin recipe I have tried yet. You can add anything you want to these or just eat them plain. Very moist and easy to make. I like to add a little cinniman/sugar mixture on top before baking. A great breakfast or snack.

I guess this might be good for sweet muffins, but I used it as a basis for savoury muffins and even though I reduced the sugar to 1/4C, they were still far too sweet. I had my doubts about including sugar at all, but wasn’t confident the muffins would work if I eliminated it completely.
I may try this again for a sweet muffin. -

I followed the recipe exactly and I didn’t think these were anything special. I made them twice. There isn’t enough flavor or texture to even call it a muffin. It is a cupcake.

I think this would be a great sweet muffin such as blue berry muffins. I wanted a savory muffin so I added cheddar cheese, but with all that sugar it was too sweet. We had sweet muffins with our soup. It wasn’t bad flavored, but best as a fruit or chocolate chip type muffin.

Absolutely wonderful! I added cinnamon and raisins. I have also added sausage, egg and cheese. Every time they have not failed to please my family. The only muffin recipe I will ever use again! Try in the jumbo muffin pans. This works well.

I also have a recipe “Best Ever Muffins” that my aunt passed on to me. However, it has 1 3/4 c flour, 1/4 c sugar, 2 1/2 t b.powder, 3/4 c milk, 1/3 c oil, the egg and salt. It is the best basic muffin recipe I have ever tried. It makes a very rich, dense muffin. I just add more sugar for a sweet muffin and have had no problem when adding fruits or savory items. Just don’t add too much. Enjoy!
