VARIATIONS

GINGER MUFFINS

Add  1/2 cup finely diced candied ginger to flour mixture before
adding liquid.

peeled banana with the egg, milk and oil.

BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

Toss 1 cup washed and well-drained fresh or frozen blueberries with

Fold 50 g grated sharp yellow cheese into muffin mix with the last
few strokes on batter. Serve hot with scrambled eggs and bacon for a
special breakfast.

SURPRISE MUFFINS

Fill muffin cups 1/3 full of batter. Drop 1/2 tsp of your favorite
jelly in center of batter. Add batter to fill cup 2/3 full. Kids just
love these as you will.

Fold 1/4 cup chives into the batter during the last few strokes and
