Ingredients 3 tablespoon dark brown sugar (cuz molasses) 1 tablespoon granulated garlic (or 2 tablespoons minced fresh) 1 tablespoon black pepper 1 tablespoon paprika 1 tablespoon onion powder (or 1.5 tbs minced fresh) 1 teaspoon ancho chili pepper or cayenne (opt) ¼ teaspoon dried lime zest 1-2 teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon ground dried tomato (or 2 tablespoon fresh) Fresh tomato is not as concentrated in flavor, so more needs to be used. I normally double the fresh type for this small amount of blend, and it would need to be used immediately. Anytime you need to use fresh ingredients for a spice blend, I recommend using it on the food that day, because once the flavors start mingling after too long, it’s more like a marinade. The difference in flavors when using it on food is what keeps it interesting and different as you eat it. If you plan on making a large amount, I recommend making this first, smell and taste it, then as you make a larger amount you’ll know how it’s supposed to smell and taste and adjust it accordingly.

Basic Muffin Recipe Ingredients 2 cups AP flour ½ cup sugar 1 tbsp. Baking powder ½ tsp. Salt ¾ cups milk ⅓ cup veggie oil 1 egg ¾ cup mix-ins Instructions Preheat oven to 375F and grease a 12 large muffin pan (NO papers) Mix all dry ingredients in a medium bowl Crack egg into small bowl and beat until yolk is fully mixed into the white Add rest of wet ingredients to beaten egg Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet mixture Mix everything together until the dry is just absorbed. Note! Do not over mix, the batter will be lumpy and that’s okay. Add your mix-ins and gently fold them in, careful not to over mix the batter Fill muffin pan ¾ of the way full, top with more of your mix in if you’d like, or top with coarse sugar Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown Baker’s notes Mix-ins count for things like frozen fruit, nits, chocolate chips, etc. If you want to add spices, mix them into the dry ingredients AP flour can be replaced with your prefered flour, gluten-free or otherwise. This may affect the texture some but it will still work with 1:1 replacements You can use any kind of granulated sugar you’d like. I love to use brown sugar personally . You can also mix white sugar and brown sugar. Get creative with it! If you want to use non granulated sugar replacements look for my baking basic posts where i talk about sugar replacements, or you can contact me for help! You can replace the milk with any type of non-dairy milk you like. I usually use cow milk, soy milk, or almond milk and they all work perfectly, only changing the taste slightly If you’re replacing the egg look for my post about egg replacement or if you already know just use your prefered egg replacer for 1 egg. I will be making different recipes for different dietary restrictions. If you have multiple restrictions, or would like help fitting a recipe to your need feel free to contact me at recipehelp.americanmuffins@gmail.com and I’d be happy to help!
