From time to time Clemence Gossett, a wonderful baking instructor and co-founding father of The Gourmandise School of Sweets and Savories in Santa Monica, transmits certainly one of her recipes to her list. Clemence's recipes are exactly my types of sweets: never picky, always achievable and truly scrumptious.
This past year Clemence sent a note entitled "The Muffin Method" detailing her general muffin philosophies and proportions. I make muffins constantly, and so i stored it within my inbox. It required us a year, however i finally pulled it a few days ago to create some blueberry muffins.
I just read the recipe three occasions before I began. I had been confused. No eggs? Two tablespoons of baking powder? I'd never witnessed a blueberry muffin recipe like this. I wondered if Clemence had erred. Hah! I ought to have known much better than to doubt a French baker. Clemence's recipes are very well-tested.
Fundamental essentials best blueberry muffins I have ever sampled. They are nearer to cake rather than health food - don't allow the fruit fool you. However if you simply can't enjoy a sweet muffin or two (or seven, within the situation of my nine-year-old) on the lazy Sunday, when are you able to?
If you are in los angeles, do visit the brand new Gourmandise School. on the market at Santa Monica Place. The Marketplace is Los Angeles's response to San Francisco's Ferry Building, and Gourmandise is holding cooking classes on a regular basis within their gorgeous, brand-new, shiny demonstration kitchen. I am attempting to build up the nerve to inquire about Clemence basically can educate a category within the summer time. Perhaps a Trufflepalooza class, featuring black summer time truffle recipes. What is your opinion? Can you register?

This is among my top picks recipes. Your muffins looks scrumptious, Erika :)
Possess a great week.
My dear goodness! The this publish alone makes me hungry. Individuals muffins look scrumptious! Funny you pointed out the Ferry building, I visited there the very first time yesterday and it was mourning the truth that we don't have such like in LA. I'll have to look at Gourmandise, just recommendation. )
No eggs within this recipe causes it to be very tempting to. veganize! Besides, they appear absolutely scrumptious! Thank you for an execllent publish.
Better late than never, however these are really outstanding blueberry muffins both in looks and taste. Always trust Erika to influence you right!
Paula, I'm so glad you loved them - Clemence will gladly listen to it too. Jogs my memory, I have to acquire some particularly!
I don't have fresh particularly however i actually want to make these. Any tips about how to avoid the batter from turning blue whenever you're using frozen berries? Thanks!
Irrrve never use frozen, but consider using a) putting them in frozen in the last second so virtually no time to thaw and b) toss them in flour before contributing to the batter. The coating of flour may absorb a few of the excess juice.
Was your batter very doughy? I've always were able to mess something in a recipe and that i'm unsure basically've done that again with this particular one. If only you can of published an image from the muffins before you decide to insert them in the oven and so i could compare. I'll inform you h.ow they come out though:)
@Sierra - doughy, you mean thick? Yes, In my opinion it had been. Not runny. As lengthy while you didn't overmix when putting the wet and dry together, you ought to be fine. Tell me.
YAY you responded! I really think I under mixed it in anxiety about over mixing it. They switched out fine but just like a biscuit. Practicing to achieve perfection though and so i'll keep trying! Appreciate the truly amazing recipies you've distributed to everybody.
Wish i'd go with my gut and added some vanilla along with a little cinnamon. Pretty blah muffins.
Betsy - so sorry you didn't like them. These were ideal for me. I question if your little fresh lemon juice is needed? I don't personally like cinnamon with particularly, but YMMV.
my dear jeeze these were The very best blueberry muffins I ever baked! Very fluffy and moist! I even baked for any friend whose kid has egg allergic reactions, she couldn't believe that they are egg less.
@Anon I understand, that's among the best areas of this recipe - no eggs. I'm likely to check it out with a different type of fruit next. Maybe some apple-quince sauce mixed in to the batter.
best muffins i've ever sampled.
10x.
I had been already keen on your lemon bars attempted the muffins plus they switched out great!
I had been already keen on your lemon bars just attempted the muffins and they've switched out amazing. Thanks!
I really like this recipe. the only real factor Used to do different the final time, I added 1/4 teaspoon fresh nutmeg in. Awesome.
I additionally made all of them frozen cranberries (2 cups, halfed) and orange rind. Also subed a few of the milk with OJ, 1/4 cup. For added orangey goodness. Sooooo Tasty.
Lemon rind and particularly will make my day. oh how about poppyseed lemon blueberry muffins. with fresh lemon juice and sugar glaze after baked. Gotta go try that, bye!
The title of the recipe is suitable, to state minimum. These muffins were tender and moist, with a rather tempered sweetness that I wish to test out, on other muffin recipes. An additional step, but in my experience, worthwhile, would be to grease the muffin wells with shortening after which PAM spray the wells. Paper liners weren't used, and also the muffins sprang out easily.
@Sarah and @ChefJeff, glad you loved it. Clemence is in reality a genius.
Besides which, since I've discovered the web site that Erika shared (replete with recipes) where this recipe originated from, I'm getting plenty of fun. yesterday I made Honey Almond Chocolate mousse also it was stellar. I didn't fold the almond nougatine in to the mousse. Rather I capped each mousse with whipped cream and set a goodly quantity of the almond confection (roughly chopped) over. Just wonderful.
I only had single serving of particularly therefore we added craisins in too! My Dear. these were scrumptious.
Anyone determine the calories during these yummies?
Oh I'm excited! We are able to't bake with eggs only at that house, which recipe will change my world! I question if you're able to place it all right into a loaf pan and bake as bread rather of muffins?
@Anonymous I'd imagine so, as lengthy while you lengthen the baking time. And perhaps reduce the heat to 350 therefore the edges don't burn prior to the middle is cooked through. By trying it, tell us!
I visited a bbq today and made the decision in the last second to create muffins. I recognized I'd no eggs as well as your recipe emerged among the first I looked. These were so easily to create plus they were certainly among the best muffins I available. Pointless to state there have been no leftovers. Thanks ��
@Anonymous I'm so glad to listen to it!
Can there be this type of factor like a standard 24 cup muffin tin. Ha! About to do this with 2 12 cup tins.
Ha, obviously you're right Natalie. I meant standard size muffins instead of the jumbo ones. Two regular 12 cup muffin tins works perfectly.

Performs this dough freeze well? Mine made greater than 24 muffins, that was a significant amount of for all of us previously
Katie, I've never attempted freezing the dough. I don't think it might work - I bet the leavening could be deactivated. I'd bake after which freeze the finished muffins.
They were So great! And excellent in my egg-allergic daughter. I made use of Trader Joe's gluten-free flour, and greek yogurt with fantastic results!
@Maxine so glad your family enjoyed the muffins!
How can you measure / scoop your flour?
@EM I personally use the news-and-sweep approach: gently scoop flour in to the calculating cup until it's heaping, then make use of a knife to brush it evenly over the top. I do not get too Obsessive-compulsive disorder about this though. )
I hear ya. Thats generate income get it done too. Thanks!
Sorry, yet another question. Would you add wet ingredients towards the dry or the other way around? Its just a little confusing within the recipe so just double checking. Thanks
@EM I believe I put the wet in to the dry, however , it doesn't matter. The only real key factor isn't to in excess of-mix.
