Ultimate muffin recipe?

[goingmadinthecountry]

I had the most delicious muffin in a cafe this morning. Why don't mine work at home? They are always a bit chewy (I'm sure I don't overmix) and, well, boring. I really want them to taste like the ones in cafes! Nothing too healthy tasting.

Any failsafe recipes please?

My plain or choc chip muffins are always quite boring too but I've had good experiences with these: these. They come out very soft and less crumbly than a standard muffin.

I always use this recipe and they turn out well. You can use any fruit in them. Blueberries are nice

Check out allrecipes.com, great ones on here. Muffins that use buttermilk always come out of my oven looking like the ones in cafes (big domes on top).

Apple muffins are in the oven right now.... will report back. Thank you - lots of experimenting to do

Yum! Thanks KurriKurri.

Glad you like them

Ottolengi's first recipe book has the best muffins I have ever tried in the baking section.
