Great Muffin Recipe

Cheddar Apple Muffins

So I made this muffin recipe after tasting some delicious Cheddar and apple muffins from your run of the mill grocery store, and wanted more. I have made some slight adjustments to this recipe by adding flax, buttermilk, and increasing the sugar slightly to accommodate these ingredients. The texture was amazing! I really like the base to this muffin recipe, and will try it today with other flavors. I will let you all know how it turns out. Tip: If you want your muffins to have nice pointed tops like commercially baked ones. You must fill your muffin tins right to the top. This may require sometimes making a double batch which always sucks..LOL. Enjoy!!!

1/2 cup ground flax

2 cups grated sharp cheddar cheese
2 eggs

Add all at once to flour mixture, Stir just until moistened. Fill greased muffin tins. Bake for 25- 30 minutes. Makes one pan of muffin loaf tins, or 18 regular-sized muffins.
