Mother’s Day Brunch Muffins
I always have muffins on the menu for Mother’s Day Brunch. This year, I created four different flavors of yummy muffins.
You will want to bookmark this post because you can make four different types of muffins from one basic recipe. This is perfect for Mother’s Day Brunch when you are feeding a crowd. Everyone can find one, or two, or four muffins that they like! So let’s get cooking.
Assorted Muffins for Mother’s Day Brunch
I have cooked brunch and breakfast at least a gazillion times in my lifetime. It’s always hard to come up with recipes that please all of my eaters, aka boys. I started thinking about how much my boys like a box of assorted donuts.
But have I ever made assorted muffins? No! So I thought, would make a batch of assorted muffins. Don’t you think that would be a great idea for Mother’s Day Brunch?
Making these muffins was so much easier than I thought it would be. It really was easy! All I did was double a batch of my favorite muffin recipe and then searched my cupboards and refrigerator for muffin flavor ingredients.
Don’t you think they look amazing? I ended up making four flavors of muffins from one double batch.
Normally I would have headed out to the grocery store to get all of the ingredients I needed. But since that isn’t an option right now, I got creative and made it work with what I could find.
Of course, I didn’t have any eggs, so I used one of my favorite substitutes. For every egg, you can substitute one-quarter cup of yogurt.
Most muffin recipes use the two bowl method. It’s simple because all you do is mix the dry ingredients in one bowl and the liquid ingredients in another. Then you just mix the two together and you are pretty much done.
I love using paper muffin liners instead of traditional muffin cups. So I filled one muffin pan with 12 muffin liners.
Four Mother’s Day Muffin Flavors in One Batch
After I made the muffin batter, I divided it into four equal portions.
Blueberry Lemon Muffins
The first type of muffins I made were Blueberry Lemon Muffins.
Raspberry Orange Muffins
Next, I made Raspberry Orange Muffins.
Banana Muffins
Because we had some really overripe bananas, I made Banana Muffins.
Cinnamon Muffins
The last muffins I made were Cinnamon Muffins.
Brown Sugar Topping
I threw together a brown sugar topping with flour, cold butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
Next, I sprinkled some of the brown sugar topping on top of the muffins. I didn’t use too much because I wanted to be able to identify the flavors.
Next, I baked them in the oven at 400 degrees for about twenty minutes.
Don’t these look wonderful?
