Three very different muffins are made from one basic recipe. They're all best served warm. 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 |
Directions:
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° for 11 to 12 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted into center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately.
