I bought a 6 cup muffin tin last year, well, only in December, and still haven’t used it. I wanted to make a more sugary-ish (actually I just wanted to use some of the Lindt white chocolate that’s been sitting around) type of muffin and since most people in my family don’t like sweets or they’re watching what they eat, I figured I’d make only 6 and finally get to use this muffin tin I got.
The recipe is based off this, I halfed the recipe, and substituted with whatever I had around.
1c all purpose flour (a tad more doesn’t hurt, I dumped in all the flour I had left)
1/3c sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
100g chopped white chocolate (I used a bar of Lindt)
1 tsp vanilla extract (or something like that, i just poured some in)
zest from 1 orange
1/2c milk
1/4 cup oil
1 beaten egg
1c or so of orange flavoured craisins (i threw in what I had left)
1. Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, zest and white chocolate in a large bowl
2. Combine egg, vanilla extract, milk and oil in a second bowl
3. Mix dry ingredients to wet until almost combined, then throw in the craisins. Don’t Overmix!
Bake at 350 degrees for about 22-25min. Makes 6 muffins.
Note to self:
Next time I make this, I’d cut back the amount of oil to maybe 1/8 cup or around 2 tablespoons. The muffins were light and fluffy, the white chocolate chunks were pretty darn tasty, but overall just a little too oily for me.
