Preparation steps

Preparation

1

Take the butter and eggs out of the fridge about 30 minutes before starting, so they reach room temperature — this will help the ingredients combine better. Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat). Prepare a muffin tin for 12 portions: line the cups with paper liners or lightly grease them with butter/oil.

Use a standard mold for 12 muffins or a flexible silicone mold. If the liners are thin, insert additional ones into the cavities of the mold to maintain their shape. Do not manually preheat the oven above 200°C — too high a temperature will burn the edges.

Dough

2

Sift the flour and baking powder together into a large bowl — sifting will aerate the flour and break up any lumps. Add the sugar and salt, and mix with a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, Baking powder, White sugar, Salt
Use a large, wide bowl (at least 3 l) to comfortably combine the ingredients. Sift the flour directly over the bowl to avoid losing volume.
3

In a separate bowl, beat the soft butter with the sugar (if you are using butter and sugar together) for 2-3 minutes with a mixer on medium speed, until the mixture is creamy and lighter in color. If you don't have a mixer, use a wooden spoon and beat vigorously for about 5-7 minutes.

Ingredients: Unsalted butter, White sugar
Use a hand mixer or a stand mixer with a mixing attachment. Soft, but not melted butter whips more easily. Do not use hot butter — it will trap air and the muffins will be heavier.
4

Add one egg at a time to the whipped butter, mixing well after each addition (about 20-30 seconds) — the mixture should be smooth and slightly fluffy. Then pour in the vanilla extract and mix briefly.

Ingredients: Egg, Vanilla extract
If the mixture starts to curdle (lumps form), add 1 tablespoon of flour — this will even out the consistency. Use a mixer on low speed to avoid over-aerating.
5

Pour in half of the dry ingredient mixture, then half of the milk with yogurt, gently mixing with a wooden spoon or spatula just until combined (about 15-20 seconds). Add the remaining dry ingredients, then the rest of the milk with yogurt — mix briefly and vigorously, just until there are no dry bits of flour. The batter should be thick but pourable.

Ingredients: Wheat flour, Baking powder, Milk, Natural yogurt
Use the 'alternating' technique (dry-wet) to avoid overworking the gluten. If you mix for too long, the muffins will turn out tougher. The batter is ready when there are visible uniform streaks, without dry islands of flour.
6

Gently mix the fruits with 1-2 tablespoons of flour (taken from the prepared portion) in a small bowl — dusting the fruits with flour will prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking. Then add the fruits to the batter and gently fold them in with a spatula to avoid crushing the fruits (about 10-15 seconds).

Ingredients: Mixed fruits (e.g. blueberries and raspberries), Wheat flour, Chopped walnuts
If you are using frozen fruits, add them straight from the freezer and mix very gently. You can also add chopped walnuts for crunch (optional).

Baking and Finishing

7

Fill the cupcake liners with batter to about 2/3 of their height (use an ice cream scoop or a tablespoon). If you like, sprinkle the top with additional chopped nuts. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake at 180°C for 20-25 minutes. After 15 minutes, check the color — the edges should be slightly golden, and the top should be springy.

Ingredients: Chopped walnuts
Use an ice cream scoop or two tablespoons to evenly fill the cupcake liners. Do not fill too high — the batter will rise and may overflow. If your oven has hot spots, rotate the pan halfway through baking.
8

Check with a toothpick: insert a thin toothpick into the center of the muffin — if it comes out dry or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are ready; if it comes out with raw batter, bake for another 2-4 minutes and check again. Remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for 5 minutes, then take the muffins out of the pan and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely (about 20-30 minutes).

Do not leave the muffins in the hot pan for too long — they may steam and the top will lose its crispness. Use a metal cooling rack to allow air to circulate evenly.
9

When the muffins are completely cooled, optionally sprinkle them with sifted powdered sugar or decorate with slices of fruit/nuts.

Ingredients: Powdered sugar, Mixed fruits (e.g. blueberries and raspberries)
Use a sieve to evenly sift the powdered sugar. Additionally, you can prepare a simple crumble (butter + flour + sugar) and sprinkle it over the muffins before baking for a crunchy topping.

Fun Fact

💡

Muffins originate from 19th century England, and their name likely comes from the French 'moufflet' (soft bread) or the Old English 'muff', meaning softness — since then, many sweet and savory variations have emerged.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve slightly warm or at room temperature. For New Year's Eve, arrange the muffins on a decorative platter, alongside bowls of extra fruits, nuts, and powdered sugar, so guests can season to their liking. Muffins pair wonderfully with champagne or coffee.

🥡 Storage

Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To extend freshness to 3-4 days, store in the refrigerator (note: they may become slightly firm) and reheat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave before serving. Freeze cooled muffins in plastic wrap and a bag at -18°C for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature.
