Recipe Introduction
Three very different muffins are made from one basic recipe. They're all best served warm.
List of Ingredients
2-1/2 cups biscuit and baking mix
1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup coarsely chopped white chocolate (we tested with Bakers Premium white chocolate)
1/2 cup coarsely chopped macadamia nuts
3/4 cup half-and-half
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Recipe
1. COMBINE baking mix and sugar in a large bowl; stir in chocolate and nuts. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine half-and-half and remaining 3 ingredients; add to dry ingredients, stirring just until dry ingredients are moistened.
2. SPOON into greased muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 400 degrees for 11 to 12 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately. Yield: 1 dozen.
Hot Chocolate Muffins:
Omit white chocolate and macadamia nuts. Decrease baking mix to 2-1/4 cups and half-and-half to 1/2 cup. Stir in 2 tablespoons cocoa, 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate mini-morsels, 1/4 cup chocolate syrup, and 1/4 cup sliced almonds. Bake as directed. Yield: 1 dozen.
Ham and Cheese Muffins:
Omit sugar, chocolate, nuts, and vanilla. Add 3/4 cup diced ham (for maximum flavor, use country ham) and 3/4 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese. Bake as directed. Yield: 1 dozen.
