I've got 2 new muffin tins - a mini one and one of those silicone ones and I'm itching to try them out. Will need to be with what I have in the cupboards though.

What flavours are you after?

I thought these clementine and oat ones sounded lovely

mmm, they do Blu

I like chocolate (natch!), nutty ones, fruitey ones, all kinds

Also, Oh domestic Goddess Soupy - I have found a chocolate muffin recipe but there is very little liquid in it - just oil and 1 egg and vanilla essence. No milk - can that be right or did I copy it down wrongly?

White choc and apricot are my total fav.

Um... thought that all the muffins I made had more liquid in them (either milk or because they have something "wet" like pumpkin in). Not 100% sure though.

Carrot muffins are nice - like carrot cake only, er, muffin shaped .

I can't recommend this book highly enough. "Muffins fast and fantstic."

I put milk in (about the same ammount as the fat) and it looked better. They have come out well (apart nfrom over filling the tins and not being ablke to get themn o8ut of the tin whole. Should I have cooled them in the tin before turning them out?

The chocolate muffins in that book have 9fl oz milk in them BTW. Some of the "wetter" ingredient ones only have 2 or 3 fl oz.

According to my muffin book, cooling them in the tin for "several minutes" makes them easier to remove.

I've made the blueberry ones before but here's some recipes for chocolate chip and apricot and honey ones

SoupDragon · 16/01/2006 18:08

Cooling them in the tin also makes removal of the paper cases easier too. Apparently.

I like the sound of chocolate cheesecake muffins. There's a recipe for them in my muffin book which looks similar to this linked one.

I must stop looking at muffin recipes now. I'm hungry

hewlettsdaughter · 16/01/2006 18:17

The book is great - we make banana and choc chip, also cranberry muffins and blueberry muffins regularly.

LadySherlockofLGJ · 16/01/2006 18:17

Ask Nutty, her muffins are a sight to behold.

MrsSpoon · 16/01/2006 18:17

Another vote for Muffins Fast and Fantastic.
