Muffins – Muffins – Muffins

I love working with a standard recipe and making alterations to make a variety of different flavors.

At my recent baking class for kids we made three different muffin recipes with one standard recipe.

We made:

1. Fresh blueberry muffins
2. Chocolate chip muffins
3. Chocolate-Blood Orange muffins (I have a blood orange tree!)

Using this standard muffin recipe, you can create a variety of muffin ideas. I will give you ideas at the bottom of the recipe.
