Bizzarre Muffins

The Z-Monster is a muffin maniac. The last week or so he has been begging for some pretty odd combinations. Specifically, he wanted peanut-butter and jelly muffins, and tuna-fish muffins. My first reaction was YUCK! On reflection, however, I thought his ideas had some merit, so I made them. We had pb&j muffins for breakfast earlier in the week- and they were a hit!

The tuna muffins were pretty good too. The Z-monster didn't like them, though, figures.

Tuna-fish Muffins

I created this recipe on my own, and it still needs some tweaking. All in all, though, I'd say it isn't bad.

2 eggs
2 cans of chunk light tuna in water (drained)
2 oz of sharp cheddar, shredded
3T grated parmesean
1/3 c oil
1 c milk
1 t salt
1 t garlic powder
1 T dried oregano
1/8 t ground sage
1 T baking powder
2 c flour

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a muffin pan.
Mix together eggs, tuna,cheese, oil, milk, salt and spices. In a seperate bowl, mix together flour and baking powder. Stir together with the tuna mixture, just until combined.
Fill muffin pan and bake for 18-20 minutes.


Peanut-butter and Jelly Muffins

I got this recipe off of the flour bag. What are the odds? It isn't bad, but next time I'd just as soon put the jelly on after i bake them. I think I'd also cut down the sugar.

2 eggs
3/4 c sugar
1 c peanut butter
1 c milk
1/3 c oil
2 c flour
1 T baking powder
1/2 c jam

Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a muffin pan. Mix together the first five ingredients. Add the flour and baking powder. Use half the batter to fill the bottoms of 12 muffin cups. Put 2 tsp of jam in the center of each cup. Fill the cups with the rest of the batter. Sprinkle the tops with more sugar (I skipped this). Bake for 20-22 min.

Happy Muffining!
