When I host a brunch at home, whether it’s during the holidays or just to have friends over, I love including mini muffins on the menu.Â
If you’ve ever attended a brunch at a fancy restaurant or country club, the pastry bar has a selection of sweets, including muffins.
Sometimes it’s an assortment of jumbo or regular muffins, sometimes mini muffins and sometimes both.Â
I love offering a selection of mini’s because that way guests can get a sampling of flavors.
One thing I really love about this recipe is that I usually have all the ingredients on hand, allowing me to make them on a moment’s notice.
Maybe you don’t want to make mini muffins. Maybe you want to make regular size. This recipe is totally adaptable. You will probably get 12 – 18 regular size muffins. Just line the muffin tin with paper liners and adjust the cooking time, starting with 5-minute increments until they are done.
