Ingredients

To make Pamela’s muffin recipe, here’s what you’ll need:

• 1 large egg
• ½ cup whole milk
• ¼ cup melted butter or vegetable oil
• 1¾ cups Pamela’s All-Purpose Baking Mix
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ¾ to 1 cup fresh or frozen fruit (ripe bananas, juicy peaches, plump berries)
• ¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
• ¼ cup finely shredded coconut

Step-by-Step Directions

Let’s break down the muffin-making process into easily digestible steps.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures everything is hot and ready by the time you are finished mixing the batter.

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin

Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray. This will help your muffins release easily once baked.

Step 3: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, whole milk, melted butter or vegetable oil, and pure vanilla extract. Make sure everything is well incorporated. You want the mixture to be smooth and homogenous.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In another bowl, combine the Pamela’s All-Purpose Baking Mix and granulated sugar. Stir these together gently. This helps to evenly distribute the sugar and ensures the baking mix is ready for the wet ingredients.

Step 5: Merge the Mixtures

Slowly add the dry mixture into the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. It’s okay if the batter is a little lumpy—overmixing leads to tough muffins.

Step 6: Fold in Add-Ins

Carefully fold in your choice of fresh or frozen fruit, walnuts, and shredded coconut. This is where personalization shines! Be gentle; you don’t want to crush your berries or bananas.

Step 7: Scoop and Bake

Using a muffin scoop or spoon, fill each muffin cup about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. You want them to be golden brown on top, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.

Step 8: Cool

Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Now you have fresh, scrumptious muffins ready to be enjoyed!

Tips on Making Pamela’s Muffin

Here are some insider tips for perfect muffins:

• Use Fresh Ingredients: Always opt for fresh fruit and ingredients. This enhances flavor and results in a better texture.
• Don’t Overmix: A few lumps are okay. Overmixing leads to dense muffins.
• Experiment: Don’t shy away from creative add-ins. Consider chocolate chips or pumpkin puree when in season.
• Check for Doneness: When the timer goes off, check the muffins. Everyone’s oven is different, so bake until just right.
• Cool Before Storing: Allow muffins to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container to avoid moisture buildup.

How Do You Store This Muffin Recipe?

If you find yourself with leftover muffins (which might be a miracle since they’re so tasty), storing them properly is key. Here’s how:

1. Room Temperature: Store them in an airtight container for up to three days.
2. Refrigerator: They can last for about a week in the fridge.
3. Freezer: For long-term storage, wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap and place them in a freezer-safe bag. They can last up to three months. Just thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to eat!

What Other Substitutes Can You Use in Pamela’s Muffin?

Let’s talk about versatility. You can have a blast experimenting with substitutions. Here are some suggestions:

1. Flour Alternatives: Almond flour or coconut flour can replace Pamela’s mix for a gluten-free option. Just note that you’ll need to adjust the liquid since these flours absorb more moisture.
2. Dairy-Free Options: Instead of whole milk, try almond milk or oat milk for a dairy-free muffin.
3. Sweetener Alternatives: Switch out granulated sugar for maple syrup or honey. You’ll need to reduce liquids slightly.
4. Fruit Substitute: If berries aren’t your thing, applesauce or grated zucchini works beautifully for moisture and flavor.
5. Nut-Free Option: Replace walnuts with pumpkin seeds or leave them out entirely for a nut-free treat.
