Hi Bold Bakers!
You asked, “Can you make Crazy Muffins?” and I said OF COURSE. One of my favorite things to do is create master recipes for classics we all know and love that allow you Bold Bakers to get creative and make things your own. My Crazy Muffin recipe allows you to do just that. Similar to my super popular Crazy Cookie Dough Recipe and Crazy Dough Bread Series, this recipe is not only quick and easy, but it’s also perfectly adaptable to whatever hankering you have.
When I think of the ultimate muffin I think of a giant bakery-style creation complete with a super tall crackly top and fabulous moist interior. These Crazy Muffins are all that and SO much more. This recipe is the perfect ratio of flour, coarse sugar, egg, vegetable oil, and buttermilk so each one has the perfect texture, just the right amount of sweetness, and a big and bold muffin top.
Just like my Crazy Dough and Crazy Cookie recipes, this easy muffin recipe starts with a plain vanilla base flavor that allows you to add in whatever you fancy to create your favorite bakery-style muffin at home. Why make one type of muffin when you can make a batch of diverse flavors all at once?
All the recipes for the muffin flavors below are just suggestions. Get creative by adding your own unique touches and be bold with these best muffins.

Double Chocolate Muffins
This chocolate chip muffin recipe truly yields a magic muffin. Deep cocoa powder and chocolate chips make these chocolate chip muffins the boldest of the bunch. Just like my double chocolate cookies that you can make using my Crazy Cookie Dough, this will taste like a brownie with all the fluffiness of a muffin.
Apple Cinnamon Muffins
Grated apple gives you a fresh fruit flavor and the Cinnamon adds roasty toasty warmth.

Carrot Cake Muffins
Just a bit of grated carrot, cinnamon, and raisins are added to your base batter to make this savory and healthy! And if you’re a fan of this flavor, feel free to try my best-ever carrot cake recipe with cream cheese frosting.
Lemon and Poppy Seed Muffins
Tart and sweet, the lemon and poppy seed mix-ins will start your day outright. All you need is a zest of lemon and poppy seeds.
Banana Nut Muffins
Mashed ripe bananas and chopped nuts are all you need to make my hearty and wholesome banana muffin recipe with a rich banana flavor.
