Expert Tips
Variation Ideas
This will give the muffins a different flavor with very little work. This is a great way to switch up the recipe every now and then for a little something different.
A few ideas include:
- Powdered Sugar - We love to top the muffins with powdered sugar and syrup but this is optional.
- Bread Options - When preparing your bread, use about 10 slices plus one heel then cut into chunks. You could even use old stale bread. Another option is to use different types of bread for different flavors or french bread.
- Keeping it Moist - If you are afraid if your muffins drying out, you can add some melted butter to the top.
- Milk Substitute - If you prefer you can use heavy cream instead of milk.
- Change the Topping - You can also mix brown sugar, vanilla and cinnamon together rather than white sugar. Make a streusel topping with cinnamon and salt and sugar.
- Muffin Pan Recommendation - My favorite cupcake pan is this one from Wilton. You can also use a mini muffin pan to make these into min muffins. If you do use the mini muffin pan, just remember to cut the baking time in half. I also love my silicone muffin pan for muffins. It is so convenient and clean up is a breeze.
