This channel is honestly one of the best cooking channels out there. Love the presentation, the recipes are great and obviously well thought out and tested. It’s very disappointing to watch a favorite channel get big and try to keep a consistent schedule and you can notice the content being compromised in quality for the sake of keeping schedule, but that does not apply to you. Keep up the really really great work
Haha! Too funny! I always say to my husband: “Is Brian listen to our conversations?” Because he often makes things we’ve been craving or talking about making. We just love this channel!
Made your blueberry muffins today. So good!! Love the addition of the lemon to the sugar for sprinkling on top. Nice hit of lemon with each bite. Love your channel. Thank you for the recipes.
Suggestion for a new muffin: Orange Cranberry w/ Dark Chocolate chips. Costco used to make them and they were GLORIOUS. Seeing your jumbo muffins reminded me of them. Cheers and thanks for the videos!
I have been thinking of Corn Muffins for the past couple of weeks now, so I used a basic muffin recipe & added a mixture of fried chopped onion, diced bacon, half a tin of drained corn kernels & some fresh chopped garlic chives. Delicious. I didn't add grated cheese though as cheese sets off my migraines but you are welcome to add that if you wish 😉 .
I'm happy you did the recipes in grams. It made the process faster. I also loved your hack for subtracting away from the batter bowl to get the correct proportioning. I made the blueberry and banana walnut muffins tonight. Family loved them!😊
This is the absolutely the best muffin recipe I have ever made. I even bought the pan and liners Brian uses in the recipe. Blueberry was the bomb and raspberry instead of blueberries is great. Just made the pumpkin spice ones and they are wonderful. Just put some sugar in the Raw spiked with pumpkin spice seasoning on top. Thanks Brian Great Job!
You really opened my world of learning how to make better bread and food at home. It’s much healthier and fresher, and my toddler has loved the fresh home cooked meals.
I made the blueberry muffins today. They're absolutely fantastic. I followed the recipe exactly as written, which is highly unusual for me. The only difference is that I added some of the lemon zest from the topping right into the batter. And they took 40 minutes to bake in my oven. They looked and tasted amazingly good. Love that the recipe is all in grams too. Makes me a happy baker. Thank you so much for posting this. New subscriber for sure 😃
Brian, I watched your video an hour ago and couldn’t wait to get into the kitchen to make these blueberry muffins. I was fortunate to have all the ingredients at home. I cut the sugar almost in half because I don’t like a super sweet muffin. These just came out of the oven fifteen minutes ago and my husband and I immediately wolfed down three ( made them in smaller size). They are divine. Thank you so very much for a great recipe. I’ll keep this one close by.
Can I just say, I've made a lot of muffins over the years and this recipe is fantastic. I live in Sweden so i cant get buttermilk (used milk/yoghurt 50/50) but this produced what I would call "bakery" quality. They stay juicy and aren't only delicious right out of the oven, they stay great. Thank you.
In germany we have Buttermilch which apparently isnt the same as american Buttermilk. tried it with german buttermilk still was great. European Buttermilk is the by product of butter making while american buttermilk has turned into a fermented dairy drink. There also seems to be conflicting information if you can just replace it with european buttermilk or have to use a different product. As the buttermilk in the video seems to be very fluid like without solid tuff in it i decided to just use european Buttermilk. every other substistute was way thicker and joghurt or cream cheese like EDIT: Traditional buttermilk is still common in many Arabic, Indian, Nepalese, Pakistani, Finnish, Polish, and Dutch households, but rarely found in other Western countries. so it seems that in germany we actually do have american style buttermilk atleast somewhat. i have checked the nutritional facts and they are very close. fat content, protein and sugar are nearly identical, also the Ph seems to be around the same. so dont know.
As an American, buttermilk isn’t a normal thing at stores for us either. You can make buttermilk at home by combing one cup of milk (245g) + 1tbsp lemon juice, mix and then microwave for 30-45sec and then let it sit on your counter 10min. Boom you have buttermilk!
Most underrated cooking channel on TH-cam. Love the mix of baking and cooking. I am not a baker but have made a couple of his bakes. Always a hit. Thanks! 🙏🏻
I just have to say- this is the best muffin I have ever tasted (double chocolate chip) I have made it several times now for home, work, and friends! Wonderful directions!! Thank you for your video and teaching. God bless you & your channel ✌️ ❤😊
Hi Brian, I just did the Pumpkin spice minus walnuts - with pumpkin seeds on top - it is one of the best pumpkin muffins I ever had! You should do a sequel - muffins are so comforting in fall!
I have overriped bananas at home pretty often, so all my family, friends and me felt in love with this banana muffins. I also experimented and added apple sause instead of banana and the result was pretty interesting too in my view. Thanks again for your recepies and work, you're incredible!!
I’ve made a ton of different muffins and these have THE BEST texture & moisture level of any other recipe I’ve tried! I’ve been able to create different flavors using the same basic profile of wet to dry and I swear it works every time. Solid recipes, Thank you for sharing!
Hey Brian! I recently discovered your channel and have been binge watching your videos! You have easily become one of my favorite people on here and I love the range of “doability” in your recipes! From your weeknighting videos to your more involved recipes, there’s something for every occasion and ambition level! You are awesome! A little tip I learned for blueberry muffins I thought I might share: tossing the blueberries in some of the dry mixture before incorporating them into the batter helps keep them more dispersed throughout, and keeps them from sinking to the bottom! Thanks for sharing these amazing recipes with us!
Hi from Melbourne Australia, loved all three recipes. The pumpkin one I would peel and cube, toss in some melted butter combined with nutmeg and toss until all the pumpkin is coated - then roast until golden and continue. Makes for a more umami flavour.
Those chocolate muffins would be wicked with chopped tart cherries mixed in (frozen cherries for off season and much cheaper) . Think I’ll try it, these muffins are rockstars!
Hi Brian. I have been watching your channel since the Weeds and Sardines days. I’ve made this recipe a few times and it is simply amazing. The family Favorite is Chocolate. I invested in a couple of jumbo muffin pans and have decided to scoop approximately 175g each and it yields about 9 delicious muffins. Thanks again for this great recipe!!
Brian, you have taken your muffins to a higher level. Many thanks. I’m loving your bread done with poolish as well. You are such an inspiration in the kitchen. We’ll done 👏👏👏
Quite literally the best muffin recipes I have ever used. Not cake and not too sweet and perfect with a cup of coffee. Bought the bigger tins- my family thanks you!
I made the double chocolate muffins this week. My husband loved them! I didn't make jumbo muffins but 12 regular sized muffins which came out very 'jumbo'. It was a hit- will definitely make again but next time will use semi sweet or milk chocolate vs 70% cacao because my daughter and I just prefer the extra sweetness. For example- she had her double chocolate muffin with vanilla ice cream for breakfast. And that made sense to both of us. Thanks for a great recipe. My husband and I really enjoy your channel!
Your recipes are so approachable and you demystify cooking with so much enthusiasm and non pretentiousness . Like my colleague remarks here I also would buy your cookbook. “Let’s publish this thinngg”
I'm so happy I found this channel. Brian is a wealth of knowledge, and he makes every meal accessible to dumbo's like me. I made a big-ass soda loaf based on one of his bread vids. It was so much fun to make, and now I'm all about the poolish! In the end it took 3 days to eat the monstrosity. Thanks Bri. You're my boi.
These are now my "go to" bakes for guests and entertaining. Thank you for all of the time and care put into these videos and for making it easy for us to follow. This is one of the best channels!😀
I've been trying out so many different banana muffin recipes for the last couple years, I'm soo happy you made one! every single one of your recipes has become my favorite version of that dish so I'm very excited lol
Just cooked blueberry muffins and...they are sooooo delicious!! So soft and juicy inside with crusty lemon topping! I'm obsessed!) Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe)
I can't thank you enough for posting the Metric Measurements. I've been baking for 50yrs and finally got sick and tired of recipes turning out hit or miss. I started to seek out metric recipes a few years ago and have been very pleased with the consistent results. Looking forward to trying these dessert-for-breakfast muffins! 👍 and I'm Subscribing!
B-rye. I made the first recipe. I didn’t have all on hand, used half and half and lemon juice instead of buttermilk and used same weight of fresh strawberries instead of blueberries. This recipe is crack my dude. Keep it up. My wife is all about this. Thanks!
AMAZING!!! All your recipes are a HUGE hit in my picky eaters family. And for someone like me who struggles with most recipes out there. Your recipes is dummy-proof. It turns out great each and every time. Thank you.
Hey again I just came back after trying those recipes Of yours and followed your heat instructions AND THEY WERE AMAZING. Seriously thank you so much for the upload. Best of wish’s man
THANK YOU! My favorites so far have been Banana Walnut and Blueberry with that delicious lemon sugar topping. I've made these many times and they're always a huge hit! The recipes are a breeze to follow. Would you please, please, please consider adding Cranberry Walnut to the mix? Maybe with orange juice or zest?
BRI, you did not disappoint! Thank you for doing these so soon after I suggested it. I can't wait to get home and try these out. They look like perfection. Uh, I also need to get the muffin pan. I like that they look narrow and tall compared to my usual jumbo muffin pan, like a hybrid popover & muffin pan. Thanks once again and I look forward to what you do next.
once again, a recipe for something I had zero intention of making before watching the video, and now that I've seen the video I'm planning to try all four of these muffin types as soon as I can! You're magic!
I made blueberry and double chocolate muffins last night and I can’t thank you enough they were super delicious and just the perfect texture too. Since I don’t eggs substituted 2 large eggs with buttermilk and rest of the ingredients followed as it is and oh my goodness it looks and tastes super moist and delicious. Thank you ever so much for sharing this recipe.
Bri I made the blueberry muffins yesterday and they turned out perfect. Best muffin recipe I’ve tried. Sooo much better than the coffee shops I go to or wherever else. It was super easy to make too. Also, there are so many bad recipes as you’ve mentioned so I’m happy you create the content for home cooks that want to make dope food. Thank you for the fantastic recipes ❤️
Brian, thank you for the muffin recipes. I have tried them and have had great success. I couldn't be happier! I used a regular jumbo muffin pan, filled them completely to the top. The tops rose to a perfect dome....I mean a DOME.....wow.....they looked and tasted as delicious as any muffin I have purchased from a bakery....in fact better because I made them myself! How fun! Thank you!
Omg. Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes! I’m going to order the pan and papers and begin these recipes. I intend to make all the flavors you gave us! Can’t wait. They look amazing! 💕
Oh. My god. You are like a super passionate science teacher who's just a LITTLE fruity. You have absolutely enraptured me and I was JUST looking for someone to help me understand the kitchen. You're perfect. Thanks for making videos!
Your videos make baking very approachable, I made the loaf from 1 dough 3 loafs and it turned out AMAZING. Planning to try one of your pizza dough recipes this weekend too. I’d love to see you make hot crossed buns! Thanks for all you do!
Have made all versions of these muffins including once when I forgot to add the pumpkin spice. These are wonderful recipes. Most muffins are too sweet and cupcake like. Actually bought the muffin tins and liners…….a worthwhile purchase. Incredibly well researched recipe. Just the best.
Hey Brian, thanks for putting out a well researched and detailed video(as always) those muffins look amazing! Any recommendations for dairy/ gluten free substitutes for the recipes? I’m looking at the banana walnut ones 👀👀
@@ianscianablo8507 I have a couple of thoughts on that. The first and most obvious is add maybe a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry mix. A small amount of coffee in chocolate baked good turns the chocolate flavor up to 11. Another thing to try would be to make any or all of the following substitutions: trade the oil for clarified butter, trade some or all of the white sugar for brown sugar, trade some of the sugar for molasses. All 3 of these will bring more depth of flavor than standard oil or white sugar. Finally, you can add some contrasting but complimentary fruity flavors to the muffin. Orange peel mixed right into the batter is one option, orange goes fabulously with chocolate. Cherries could be another choice, again cherries are a fruit that pairs extremely well with chocolate. Any or all of these should augment these muffins nicely.
After I made your burger buns, I tried your DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS. What a treat, they really are CAKE! And, they are almost gone. Hahaha! I'm so glad you encouraged us to get this deep dish muffin tin. It's such a great presentation. I could give your muffins as a gift to someone. That's how impressive this recipe turns out. What great muffin domes!!!!!!!
🤤 I cannot wait to try the banana nut muffins. I've been hunting for a good recipe and always come up disappointed. This one looks amazing 😍 and again love the weight measures on the bananas. I hate when a recipe just says "2 mashed bananas" - like all bananas are NOT created equally. Lol.
Love how you include the scientific reasons for various things (such as using extra egg yolks without the whites because too much egg white protein changes the texture etc.) It’s little tips like that which make successful baking! (Maybe you could mention in one of your baking videos that sugar is actually considered a “wet” ingredient…)
I made the blueberry and banana walnut muffins and while the blueberry turned out great, the banana walnut muffins were a bit too dense/heavy,. I found that using flour with 8-9% protein led to a lighter more tender crumb but still enough resistance to give the muffin top and sides some bite. Love this channel! I've never been into baking so much after watching Brian.
this popped up yesterday on my recommendations and I made the chocolate muffins today! I’m so happy rn, they are so fluffy and flavorful, the addition of the sour cream really makes this muffins elite. So glad I found this channel 🥳
My 5 year old son stopped at your channel “just because I want to make those hugeeeee muffins “ as he said. You are great! We love all your recipes from Argentina 🇦🇷 💚. I have a regular cupcake mold. How many grams should I scoop? Just half the 225?
I have made muffins with each of these recipes, and they are hands down better than any muffin I've ever had. I also like how you not just give the ingredients and the process in your videos, but you explain what each thing does and how it affects the result, and how you left that mistake in there when making the chocolate muffins. You're actually educating people about food science rather than just giving out recipes, not many other channels do that. I'd love to get your take on an Apple and Cinnamon muffin recipe. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We made the banana nut this morning! Oh my goodness, so much goodness! I subbed pecans in for walnuts since that’s what we had. Turned out terrific! Thank Bri! Love them!
Loved the simplicity of these jumbo muffins! As for the moistness, I personally want to see some moist crumbs ( not batter) on my cake tester, as even out of the tins the muffins continue to cook a bit more. I'll definitely be making your recipe as the flavor ratio looks spot on. 😉
Once again, you've outdone yourself Bri! Crazy attention to detail. Concise presentation. Too many pro tips...negative tare portioning, lemon demerara sugar...WHAT?!
Hey Bri! I love making a good big muff top. I've found when using the classic 12 muffin pan to overfill each cup until it's almost overflowing, then stick it into a 375 oven for 5 mins, and then lower the temp to 350 after that for about 20-25 more minutes. I don't know if that actually does anything, but my muffins have always had a great oven spring, and moist muffins when using that method! These also look amazing as well! I'm going to definitely try some of these. Cheers!
I've had good results with the hitting 'em with high heat first too! I think it's recipe dependant and yields good results for those times that you're ~suspicious~ of the way your batter looks
There is a lot of leavening in these So hopefully no need for high heat. In my Trials muffins were way more sensitive to drying out that I had expected
First time seeing your video. The dance scene at the end is how food should make you feel. I love it. Makes me want to shop for that muffin tin and rush right home and make a batch. Awesome!
Happy Friday Eve, Mr. Lagerstrom! Thank you for sharing! I am going to try making my favorite Panera orange cranberry (or cranberry orange) muffins and your lemon sugar tip could be made into an orange zest and raw sugar topping for my project. I won't mention much about how disappointing Panera is otherwise (ahem). Happy Autumnal Equinox, too, from we who slowly turn into leather in the infernal heat and wicked sun of the southwest!
Jyst found your channel & I jyst have to say thank you!! I LOVE that you use & list grammes in your recipies! There's so many recipes i find from American bakers but cups just aren't precise & baking is a science & has to be precise!!
Was really afraid after the third muffin that there wasn't going to be a 'Let's eat this thiiiiing.' Didn't disappoint. I'll be trying these soon! Also-is there a brand of cocoa powder that you recommend? Is there a noticeable difference between the quality of cocoa powder brands?
@@tinalouisewilson i beg to differ Belmont estate, jouvay, and Roma Cocoa powder extremely rich in flavor as much as I love them I won't be so bold to say they're the best as i haven't used all cocoa powder on the market.
I made 12 small muffins and had leftover batter. I sprayed ramekins with pam spray and some flour and poured it in. It is a small chocolate cake! This is an awesome recipe, thank you!!
I just made the Banana and the Double Choc one about an hour ago with a few personal modifications and additions. Man, these are the best muffins I have ever had! The sweetness level is PERFECT, especially if you wanna have them for breakfast (I don't like things to be too sweet in the AM). Also, the salt is just *chef's kiss*. Someone in the comments mentioned cranking the heat up for 5 min. to help them really rise and create that iconic muffin top, and then lowering it to the intended temp. This is a great tip. My banana ones didn't rise as nicely as my Double Choc that had the higher heat in the beginning. Definitely making these again! Thanks for the recipe!!! Note: I made mine in standard size muffin/cupcake pan, not the large ones, and I baked them for about 20-25 min. in convection oven.
Those muffins look so delicious, can’t wait to try them. I love your recipes, your deep dish pizza is the bomb! Love your personality, looking forward to more awesome videos from your channels. ❤️👍
Brian, Great recipe first of all! I also wanted to say that I really appreciate you adding the recipe details in the description. It's very helpful when I'm at the grocery store shopping for the ingredients, and not having to randomly browse through the video in front of the yogurt section lol. It's the details that count. Last thing, do you mind adding the Amazon affiliate links for Canada as well. I ended up buying almost all the 'tools' (muffin pan, scoop, baking cups) but I don't think they work the same way for you - amazon -affiliate-wise.
I tried the blueberry ones today, they are great. Didn't had any tall cupcakes mold though so I made do with 1 cake pan and 3 large ramekins in which I place the paper in a way that it would guide the cakes to be tall. Worked better in the ramekins than in the cake pan (that is black though) somehow but the cake pan was at the back, possibly protected a bit from the heat.
Made the blueberry muffins in that jumbo pan you have a link for --- my goodness!!! No hyperbole, it was the best blueberry muffin I have ever eaten. I'm a novice baker at 62yo and this recipe is perfect. Muffins were not too sweet, very light and fluffy, and very moist. The Sour cream really makes it all come together. Next up are the banana nut muffins. Thanks a bunch.
I have a silicon bundt pan and it is also no bueno. And it's impossible to clean really well so it's got this coating of sticky old baking spray. I bought the muffin pan you've got, thinking I could also use it for Pop Overs... thanks. You're so freaking great.
wow, I am super impressed by how my blueberry and chocolate muffins turned out. I used 3 whole eggs for the convenience, and they turned out delicious as far as I'm concerned. I have other recipes I've been using, but boy are your muffins soft and moist. I'm tweaking all my other muffin recipes to include sour cream for that additional tenderness. I will say tho that your recipe makes more than a dozen regular sized muffins, even though I tried really hard to fit the whole batter into one 12-count muffin tin.
I love how he casually mentions the fact that most canned pumpkin pure is really just butternut squash. Like my world wasn’t turned upside down when I learned that my life is a lie.
It's not quite true. The pumpkins generally used for canned pumpkin are actually a hybrid. One of the original sources was butternut squash, though, and they inherited some of those characteristics. (See username, I have a pumpkin problem).
Banana walnut was such a hit 😍 thank you for the recipe, it's perfect... Moist, soft, with a slight caramel note in the background and the toasted nuts... So good 😍
Oh my goodness I wish I could add a picture of these awakens giant muffins. Made the banana nut and pumpkin spice and they were off the charts delicious. I love this channel. Everything I have made has been delicious!
Just know if you ever come out with a cookbook, I *will* buy it.
Noted! 🤙🏻

Yes I agree, but personally the 3rd muffin I don't like that way, I prefer this one th-cam.com/video/znH01E8Ti58/w-d-xo.html
This channel is uncanny for reaching into my psyche and figuring out exactly what I'm craving and making a video for it
So glad ✌️
The day before I made Muffins but they where just okay and suddenly this appeared :)
Haha! Too funny! I always say to my husband: “Is Brian listen to our conversations?” Because he often makes things we’ve been craving or talking about making. We just love this channel!
Made your blueberry muffins today. So good!! Love the addition of the lemon to the sugar for sprinkling on top. Nice hit of lemon with each bite. Love your channel. Thank you for the recipes.

I second this, that sounds dope
For that big muffin top try a high heat for 5 minutes then turn down to the heat intended, it works! I fill mine with a bit of homemade jam too 😍
If you don't have jam ,I use pie filling. I made a peanut butter and jam traybake tonight, if it was delicious.
I have been thinking of Corn Muffins for the past couple of weeks now, so I used a basic muffin recipe & added a mixture of fried chopped onion, diced bacon, half a tin of drained corn kernels & some fresh chopped garlic chives.

In germany we have Buttermilch which apparently isnt the same as american Buttermilk. tried it with german buttermilk still was great.
European Buttermilk is the by product of butter making while american buttermilk has turned into a fermented dairy drink.
There also seems to be conflicting information if you can just replace it with european buttermilk or have to use a different product.
As the buttermilk in the video seems to be very fluid like without solid tuff in it i decided to just use european Buttermilk.
every other substistute was way thicker and joghurt or cream cheese like
EDIT:
Traditional buttermilk is still common in many Arabic, Indian, Nepalese, Pakistani, Finnish, Polish, and Dutch households, but rarely found in other Western countries.
so it seems that in germany we actually do have american style buttermilk atleast somewhat.
i have checked the nutritional facts and they are very close. fat content, protein and sugar are nearly identical, also the Ph seems to be around the same. so dont know.

That’s awesome! I hope this one hits!

Tried the recipe (the banana walnut) .. and it works like magic!
the resulting muffins are incredibly delicious!
You continue to kill it, BBoy! I’ll definitely try one (or more, who am I kidding?) of these. None of your recipes have failed me yet. Appreciate you.
This is why I love this channel. I know every recipe I make is going to be great because of all the effort you went through to test them.
Just cooked blueberry muffins and...they are sooooo delicious!!
So soft and juicy inside with crusty lemon topping! I'm obsessed!)
Thanks so much for sharing this great recipe)
I can't thank you enough for posting the Metric Measurements. I've been baking for 50yrs and finally got sick and tired of recipes turning out hit or miss. I started to seek out metric recipes a few years ago and have been very pleased with the consistent results. Looking forward to trying these dessert-for-breakfast muffins! 👍 and I'm Subscribing!
B-rye. I made the first recipe. I didn’t have all on hand, used half and half and lemon juice instead of buttermilk and used same weight of fresh strawberries instead of blueberries. This recipe is crack my dude. Keep it up. My wife is all about this. Thanks!
AMAZING!!! All your recipes are a HUGE hit in my picky eaters family. And for someone like me who struggles with most recipes out there. Your recipes is dummy-proof. It turns out great each and every time. Thank you.
Hey again I just came back after trying those recipes Of yours and followed your heat instructions AND THEY WERE AMAZING. Seriously thank you so much for the upload. Best of wish’s man
Thanks for trying these!
THANK YOU! My favorites so far have been Banana Walnut and Blueberry with that delicious lemon sugar topping. I've made these many times and they're always a huge hit! The recipes are a breeze to follow. Would you please, please, please consider adding Cranberry Walnut to the mix? Maybe with orange juice or zest?
Yaaassss! Totally baking up a batch of pumpkin jumbo muffins with a cream cheese glaze! Thank you for the recipes and inspiration!
New subscriber watching from Philippines thank you for sharing your recipe may I try this so delicious.
BRI, you did not disappoint! Thank you for doing these so soon after I suggested it. I can't wait to get home and try these out. They look like perfection. Uh, I also need to get the muffin pan. I like that they look narrow and tall compared to my usual jumbo muffin pan, like a hybrid popover & muffin pan.
Thanks once again and I look forward to what you do next.
Thanks so much for watching!
once again, a recipe for something I had zero intention of making before watching the video, and now that I've seen the video I'm planning to try all four of these muffin types as soon as I can! You're magic!
Good luck! Thanks for watching
Show Bri some love and watch both adds to completion.
What a sweetie
Haha thank you 🙏
I made blueberry and double chocolate muffins last night and I can’t thank you enough they were super delicious and just the perfect texture too. Since I don’t eggs substituted 2 large eggs with buttermilk and rest of the ingredients followed as it is and oh my goodness it looks and tastes super moist and delicious. Thank you ever so much for sharing this recipe.
Bri I made the blueberry muffins yesterday and they turned out perfect. Best muffin recipe I’ve tried. Sooo much better than the coffee shops I go to or wherever else. It was super easy to make too. Also, there are so many bad recipes as you’ve mentioned so I’m happy you create the content for home cooks that want to make dope food. Thank you for the fantastic recipes ❤️
Brian, thank you for the muffin recipes. I have tried them and have had great success. I couldn't be happier! I used a regular jumbo muffin pan, filled them completely to the top. The tops rose to a perfect dome....I mean a DOME.....wow.....they looked and tasted as delicious as any muffin I have purchased from a bakery....in fact better because I made them myself! How fun! Thank you!
Omg. Thank you so much for sharing all these recipes! I’m going to order the pan and papers and begin these recipes. I intend to make all the flavors you gave us! Can’t wait. They look amazing! 💕
Hello Carol
How are you doingm today?
Oh. My god. You are like a super passionate science teacher who's just a LITTLE fruity. You have absolutely enraptured me and I was JUST looking for someone to help me understand the kitchen. You're perfect. Thanks for making videos!
The blueberry one is so tempting! My favorite! 😱😍😍
Makes me so happy seeing this channel continue to take off...
Your videos make baking very approachable, I made the loaf from 1 dough 3 loafs and it turned out AMAZING. Planning to try one of your pizza dough recipes this weekend too. I’d love to see you make hot crossed buns! Thanks for all you do!
Have made all versions of these muffins including once when I forgot to add the pumpkin spice. These are wonderful recipes. Most muffins are too sweet and cupcake like. Actually bought the muffin tins and liners…….a worthwhile purchase. Incredibly well researched recipe. Just the best.
Hey Brian, thanks for putting out a well researched and detailed video(as always) those muffins look amazing! Any recommendations for dairy/ gluten free substitutes for the recipes? I’m looking at the banana walnut ones 👀👀
Baked some for my kids school bake sale, they came out tops! Didn't have buttermilk so used 100g of milk. Thanks for posting
My second attempt at the blueberry muffins came out AMAZING! Definitely going to try the other flavors soon this recipe is a keeper for sure
Thanks! So glad, thanks for sticking with it
Just discovered Lagerstrom videos. LOVE!!! So clear, precise & witty! Thank you
Thanks very much for watching them!!!
I’ve made all 3 muffins. The chocolate was ho-hum, but the blueberry lemon is FANTASTIC! Best I’ve ever made.
What was up with the chocolate one? How can you improve it?
@@ianscianablo8507 I have a couple of thoughts on that. The first and most obvious is add maybe a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry mix. A small amount of coffee in chocolate baked good turns the chocolate flavor up to 11. Another thing to try would be to make any or all of the following substitutions: trade the oil for clarified butter, trade some or all of the white sugar for brown sugar, trade some of the sugar for molasses. All 3 of these will bring more depth of flavor than standard oil or white sugar. Finally, you can add some contrasting but complimentary fruity flavors to the muffin. Orange peel mixed right into the batter is one option, orange goes fabulously with chocolate. Cherries could be another choice, again cherries are a fruit that pairs extremely well with chocolate.
Any or all of these should augment these muffins nicely.
BTW, I keep baking these over and over. Enormous success with everyone. I spread the word. Thanks for your excellent work.
I'm usually not a big fan of blueberries, but man, you sold me on those muffins. I will be making some as soon as I can get ahold of a baking pan!
After I made your burger buns, I tried your DOUBLE CHOCOLATE MUFFINS. What a treat, they really are CAKE! And, they are almost gone. Hahaha! I'm so glad you encouraged us to get this deep dish muffin tin. It's such a great presentation. I could give your muffins as a gift to someone. That's how impressive this recipe turns out. What great muffin domes!!!!!!!
🤤 I cannot wait to try the banana nut muffins. I've been hunting for a good recipe and always come up disappointed. This one looks amazing 😍 and again love the weight measures on the bananas. I hate when a recipe just says "2 mashed bananas" - like all bananas are NOT created equally. Lol.
Hello
How are you doing?
Love how you include the scientific reasons for various things (such as using extra egg yolks without the whites because too much egg white protein changes the texture etc.)
It’s little tips like that which make successful baking!
(Maybe you could mention in one of your baking videos that sugar is actually considered a “wet” ingredient…)
I love your videos and recipes! They are easy to follow and not overwhelming. Inspires me to try every recipe. Keep the content coming 😁
I made the blueberry and banana walnut muffins and while the blueberry turned out great, the banana walnut muffins were a bit too dense/heavy,. I found that using flour with 8-9% protein led to a lighter more tender crumb but still enough resistance to give the muffin top and sides some bite. Love this channel! I've never been into baking so much after watching Brian.
this popped up yesterday on my recommendations and I made the chocolate muffins today! I’m so happy rn, they are so fluffy and flavorful, the addition of the sour cream really makes this muffins elite. So glad I found this channel 🥳
Thanks for being here glad you found it too.
Well now I made these babies...very nice...I purchased the muffin pan and cups...nice results! THANK YOU
My 5 year old son stopped at your channel “just because I want to make those hugeeeee muffins “ as he said.
You are great! We love all your recipes from Argentina 🇦🇷 💚.
I have a regular cupcake mold. How many grams should I scoop? Just half the 225?
I have made muffins with each of these recipes, and they are hands down better than any muffin I've ever had. I also like how you not just give the ingredients and the process in your videos, but you explain what each thing does and how it affects the result, and how you left that mistake in there when making the chocolate muffins. You're actually educating people about food science rather than just giving out recipes, not many other channels do that. I'd love to get your take on an Apple and Cinnamon muffin recipe.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
We made the banana nut this morning! Oh my goodness, so much goodness! I subbed pecans in for walnuts since that’s what we had. Turned out terrific! Thank Bri! Love them!
Thanks for trying them! So glad
The way you explain everything is just chef kiss no confusion nothing
Loved the simplicity of these jumbo muffins! As for the moistness, I personally want to see some moist crumbs ( not batter) on my cake tester, as even out of the tins the muffins continue to cook a bit more. I'll definitely be making your recipe as the flavor ratio looks spot on. 😉
Once again, you've outdone yourself Bri! Crazy attention to detail. Concise presentation. Too many pro tips...negative tare portioning, lemon demerara sugar...WHAT?!
Haha so glad you liked this one!
@@BrianLagerstrom I like them all Bman. Unless you cook Liver & Onions. Ima dislike that $hit twice ;-)
Hey Bri! I love making a good big muff top. I've found when using the classic 12 muffin pan to overfill each cup until it's almost overflowing, then stick it into a 375 oven for 5 mins, and then lower the temp to 350 after that for about 20-25 more minutes. I don't know if that actually does anything, but my muffins have always had a great oven spring, and moist muffins when using that method! These also look amazing as well! I'm going to definitely try some of these. Cheers!
I've had good results with the hitting 'em with high heat first too! I think it's recipe dependant and yields good results for those times that you're ~suspicious~ of the way your batter looks
There is a lot of leavening in these
So hopefully no need for high heat. In my
Trials muffins were way more sensitive to drying out that I had expected
@@BrianLagerstrom The muffin top is the best part. Why would you choose a pan that just elongates the bottom??
First time seeing your video. The dance scene at the end is how food should make you feel. I love it. Makes me want to shop for that muffin tin and rush right home and make a batch. Awesome!
Happy Friday Eve, Mr. Lagerstrom! Thank you for sharing! I am going to try making my favorite Panera orange cranberry (or cranberry orange) muffins and your lemon sugar tip could be made into an orange zest and raw sugar topping for my project. I won't mention much about how disappointing Panera is otherwise (ahem). Happy Autumnal Equinox, too, from we who slowly turn into leather in the infernal heat and wicked sun of the southwest!
Jyst found your channel & I jyst have to say thank you!! I LOVE that you use & list grammes in your recipies! There's so many recipes i find from American bakers but cups just aren't precise & baking is a science & has to be precise!!
Was really afraid after the third muffin that there wasn't going to be a 'Let's eat this thiiiiing.' Didn't disappoint. I'll be trying these soon!
Also-is there a brand of cocoa powder that you recommend? Is there a noticeable difference between the quality of cocoa powder brands?
I haven’t noticed difference and I don’t have pref, but I haven’t really dug into it. Dutch process is usually what I have on hand
Valrhona cocoa powder is hands down the very best. It’s a bit pricey but so worth it. Available on Amazon.
@@tinalouisewilson i beg to differ Belmont estate, jouvay, and Roma Cocoa powder extremely rich in flavor as much as I love them I won't be so bold to say they're the best as i haven't used all cocoa powder on the market.
@@ramonaspice6290 To my mind Richmond Valley was always the best for baking...but Roma is a close second.
I made 12 small muffins and had leftover batter. I sprayed ramekins with pam spray and some flour and poured it in. It is a small chocolate cake! This is an awesome recipe, thank you!!
I am so hyped to make these! I can't wait to have my own little kitchen dance moment with these muffins!
Good luck! I hope they deliver I tested these pretty hard
Same!!
I just made the Banana and the Double Choc one about an hour ago with a few personal modifications and additions.
Man, these are the best muffins I have ever had! The sweetness level is PERFECT, especially if you wanna have them for breakfast (I don't like things to be too sweet in the AM). Also, the salt is just *chef's kiss*.
Someone in the comments mentioned cranking the heat up for 5 min. to help them really rise and create that iconic muffin top, and then lowering it to the intended temp. This is a great tip. My banana ones didn't rise as nicely as my Double Choc that had the higher heat in the beginning.
Definitely making these again! Thanks for the recipe!!!
Note: I made mine in standard size muffin/cupcake pan, not the large ones, and I baked them for about 20-25 min. in convection oven.
Those muffins look so delicious, can’t wait to try them. I love your recipes, your deep dish pizza is the bomb! Love your personality, looking forward to more awesome videos from your channels. ❤️👍
Hello Chelly
How are you doing?
Homemade taste great
Brian, Great recipe first of all! I also wanted to say that I really appreciate you adding the recipe details in the description. It's very helpful when I'm at the grocery store shopping for the ingredients, and not having to randomly browse through the video in front of the yogurt section lol. It's the details that count.
Last thing, do you mind adding the Amazon affiliate links for Canada as well. I ended up buying almost all the 'tools' (muffin pan, scoop, baking cups) but I don't think they work the same way for you - amazon -affiliate-wise.
Brutal receta los haré con camote para ver qué tal quedan saludos desde Perú 🇵🇪🇵🇪🇵🇪 Bro.
Bro, sabes con qué puedo sustituir el Buttermilk? Aquí en Colombia no consigo. Saludos desde Bogotá!
I tried the blueberry ones today, they are great. Didn't had any tall cupcakes mold though so I made do with 1 cake pan and 3 large ramekins in which I place the paper in a way that it would guide the cakes to be tall.
Worked better in the ramekins than in the cake pan (that is black though) somehow but the cake pan was at the back, possibly protected a bit from the heat.
From now on, I want you to put an equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.
Made the blueberry muffins in that jumbo pan you have a link for --- my goodness!!! No hyperbole, it was the best blueberry muffin I have ever eaten. I'm a novice baker at 62yo and this recipe is perfect. Muffins were not too sweet, very light and fluffy, and very moist. The Sour cream really makes it all come together. Next up are the banana nut muffins. Thanks a bunch.
Muffins, mini muffins, jumbo muffins, cupcakes, popovers, there’s a conspiracy to force us all to buy endless different baking pans isn’t there?
Hi from Greece 🇬🇷! Many thanks fir the recipes. I just tried the chocolate ones.. fantastic taste and very useful tips 😊
*busts out the fancy jumbo silicon muffin mat*
Me: “oh this looks cool”
Bri: “IT SUCKS”
Hilarious editing as always
I have a silicon bundt pan and it is also no bueno. And it's impossible to clean really well so it's got this coating of sticky old baking spray. I bought the muffin pan you've got, thinking I could also use it for Pop Overs... thanks. You're so freaking great.
Perfect for popovers for SURE
wow, I am super impressed by how my blueberry and chocolate muffins turned out. I used 3 whole eggs for the convenience, and they turned out delicious as far as I'm concerned. I have other recipes I've been using, but boy are your muffins soft and moist. I'm tweaking all my other muffin recipes to include sour cream for that additional tenderness. I will say tho that your recipe makes more than a dozen regular sized muffins, even though I tried really hard to fit the whole batter into one 12-count muffin tin.
I love how he casually mentions the fact that most canned pumpkin pure is really just butternut squash. Like my world wasn’t turned upside down when I learned that my life is a lie.
Haha
It's not quite true. The pumpkins generally used for canned pumpkin are actually a hybrid. One of the original sources was butternut squash, though, and they inherited some of those characteristics. (See username, I have a pumpkin problem).
Banana walnut was such a hit 😍 thank you for the recipe, it's perfect... Moist, soft, with a slight caramel note in the background and the toasted nuts... So good 😍
Weekly Bri-guy comment #29: almost at 200k 😩. I take back what I said the other week, you’re famous now.
Haha maybe another 200k
Oh my goodness I wish I could add a picture of these awakens giant muffins. Made the banana nut and pumpkin spice and they were off the charts delicious. I love this channel. Everything I have made has been delicious!
