Muffins in 30 Minutes or Less

Let's face it: Muffins are basically cake. Cake you're allowed to eat in the morning. So shouldn't you be making them more often?

Very Berry Muffins

Tiny Corn Muffins

Apple Applesauce Muffins

Egg and Bacon Muffin Cups

Bacon-Cheddar Muffins

For perfectly browned tops, cook one pan at a time on the topmost oven rack.

Apricot-Pistachio Muffins Baked on the Grill

If you don't want to heat up your house with the oven, you can bake any muffins on the grill but the lightly smoky flavor that the grill imparts is especially nice with corn-based ones. Because keeping the grill at a steady temperature can be tricky, the baking time can vary, so keep an eye on the muffins. For the best muffins, be sure that the entire pan is not set over direct heat (otherwise, the bottoms will burn).

Dirt Bombs

Like a cinnamon-sugar doughnut in muffin form. You've been warned.

Gluten-Free Raspberry-Ginger Muffins

Most gluten-free flour mixes rely on rice flour or cornstarch, which can create a gummy texture. But the main ingredient in Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free All Purpose Baking Flour is garbanzo flour. The muffins we made with it had the best flavor, texture, and color out of all the brands we tried.

Corn-Pancetta Puddings in Corn Husk Baskets

These savory puddings work as a brunch or side dish, with their corn husk "handles" making them look like cheerful sunflowers. After you remove the kernels from the cobs, you scrape the corn milk from the cobs with the back of a knife, then simmer the cobs in cream and milk. This mixture forms the base of the pudding batter, which you pour into corn husk–lined muffin tins. The result is part corn muffin, part soufflé.

Zucchini Raisin Bran Muffins

This recipe is a great way to use the extra zucchini from the garden or farmers’ market and is chockfull of healthy ingredients. For an even more nutritious version, substitute the same amount of applesauce for the butter, and brown sugar instead of white.

Blackberry, Lemon, and Thyme Muffins

Bake in large decorative paper molds (found at kitchen supply stores), or simply line standard muffin tins with your favorite liners.

Oat Bran–Applesauce Mini Muffifins

Loaded with soluble fiber, the old-fashioned oats in these muffins help reduce cholesterol and regulate blood sugar. Dates and applesauce—both full of fiber, vitamins, and natural sugars—create a complex caramel flavor when combined with the honey.

Cranberry Bran Muffins

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.

Health Muffins

If you prefer, you can bake these muffins in a standard muffin tin; spoon 1/4 cup batter into each cup.
