Today it is not worth spending money on buying muffins. In addition, these contain too much sugar, poor quality oils and some additives, so the homemade option will always be healthier. In these two recipes we opted for healthy ingredients, such as oils instead of butter or margarine.
In addition, we also detail what are the secrets to create the famous pompadour and that, therefore, you must follow to the letter:
- Beat the ingredients well, especially the egg with the sugar.
- Mix the flour with the yeast before adding them to the mixture.
- Cool the raw dough before putting it in the oven to create a contrast of temperatures.
1. Muffins with orange and cinnamon
Ingredients
- 3 cups of flour (360 g)
- 1 cup of sugar (200 g)
- ½ cup of sunflower oil (100 ml)
- 1 yogurt (125 g)
- 1 orange
- 2 tablespoons of ceylon cinnamon powder (30 g)
- 3 eggs
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder (12 g)
Elaboration
- First, preheat the oven to 200ºC.
- Now, wash the orange well, grate part of the peel and squeeze out the juice. Reserve.
- Then, in a bowl, beat the eggs and add the sugar, the oil, the juice and the orange zest, the cinnamon and the yogurt, and mix all the ingredients well until they are integrated.
- Finally, add the flour and yeast already mixed and beat well until there are no lumps.
- For the perfect orange and cinnamon muffins, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least half an hour, although it can also be overnight.
- Then take the mixture out of the fridge and fill the molds, leaving about ¹⁄3 empty.
- Sprinkle with a little sugar, as this will give us a crunchier and more appetizing crust.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the top rises and they are golden brown. We can check it with a toothpick to see if the interior is already cooked.
- To finish, remove from the oven and let cool.
