Earlier, my husband wondered why I was buying kefir in the store, which will expire tomorrow. Now I'm used to it, and doesn't even ask, I'm ready for any of my experiments in the kitchen. If I plan to bake something tasty, old kefir from the shelf in the store will definitely move to my basket!
Such delicate, as on kefir, baking does not work either with butter or milk. And if kefir is also expired (by 2-3 days), it will be the most magical in baking - it has been checked many times. Today I will tell you how to make delicious kefir muffins. If you have this sour milk product at hand - join us!
And also take note of recipes such as,.
All ingredients must be at room temperature.
The first thing to do is to heat the oven to 180 C. Let it heat for 15 minutes or more, so that by the time the cakes appear in it, it is thoroughly preheated.
Now put the butter in a saucepan and heat it over the fire until it is liquid. The butter should completely melt and then cool to room temperature. If we add hot butter to the dough, the eggs curl.
Eggs (2 pcs.) Break into a wide bowl and begin to stir with a mixer at medium speed.
When foam appears, add granulated sugar in a thin stream. You can put the glass of sugar next to the beating bowl and add a tablespoon at a time so that the sugar is added gradually rather than spilling out all at once.
At the end of whipping (it takes me 5-8 minutes for the whole process), the egg-sugar mass should look like a thick white foam. Looking into the bowl, it’s even hard to believe that it contains yolks (in appearance, the mass looks as if we are going to bake).
Now pour in the butter in a thin stream (I remind you that the butter should cool to room temperature by this time). Stir again.
Kefir should be preheated and cooled. Add cold kefir to the dough! But even hot can hurt the fact that the eggs curl. Therefore, we either take it out of the refrigerator in advance, or heat it in a saucepan on the stove (or microwave) and cool it. Pour kefir into the dough and mix slightly.
All dry ingredients: flour (250 g), salt (pinch), baking powder (2 tsp), combine together and stir with a whisk. Don't neglect this step if you want lush, evenly rising muffins.
If you like baked goods like muffins, take note of the recipe.
Now we combine dry ingredients with liquid ones with a spatula, trying not to lose air in beaten eggs with sugar. By lifting from the bottom up, we achieve a homogeneous dough without large lumps. The dough should not be perfectly smooth, otherwise, in an attempt to achieve such uniformity, you will beat the dough too much and it will lose its airiness. The consistency of the dough can be seen in the photo:
Now we put paper substrates in the mold and pour the dough into portions. It is convenient to do this with an ice cream spoon.
Muffins are baked at 180 C for 20-25 minutes. Start checking the readiness from 15 minutes (provided that the hats are already reddened). You can pierce the muffin in the center with a toothpick - it should come out dry. If the surface of the muffin is ruddy, springy when pressed, an appetizing smell comes from the oven - the muffins are ready.
Cool the baked goods on the wire rack so that the bottom of the cakes does not get damp.
Enjoy your meal!
How can the basic recipe be improved?
There are many options here: add finely chopped nuts, candied fruits, a small amount of berries, raisins or other dried fruits to the finished dough. You can make muffins chocolatey by adding thermostable chocolate drops or chopped chocolate bar. To make chocolate muffins, you can use cocoa powder (50 g), but reduce the amount of flour by 50 g. That is, we follow the basic recipe, but we make the amendments I mentioned. I did not add step by step photos, since the principle of preparation is the same.
To prepare the filling, cut the apples into pieces (it is better to use sour varieties), add cinnamon and stir. We send the filling into the dough, made according to the main test. Stir and lay out on the molds.
On the You Tube video channel there is an excellent recipe for banana muffins, which I recorded especially for you, I invite you to watch and wait for responses under the video \u003d)

What to add to the dough
Here we no longer restrain ourselves, we experiment to the fullest:
Preparation of molds
Those silicone molds in which fluffy muffins will be baked on kefir are greased with vegetable or butter during the initial use. If products have already been baked in them, then there is no need to lubricate. The main thing is to make sure that the molds are clean and dry.
For convenience, it is better to immediately put them in a baking sheet. So during transportation, their contents are not deformed.
Very often there is simply not enough time for some complex recipes, which is why those that can be whipped up are so appreciated. This is especially important if there are small children at home. So, today I want to invite you to bake kefir cupcakes in silicone molds, which are prepared very quickly and easily. I use the most common products, if you wish, you can slightly adjust them for yourself, as I will tell you below.
The recipe for muffins will be made on margarine with raisins, which, if desired, can be replaced with other dried fruits, and baked in small tins.

Melt margarine and leave to cool slightly. Also, if you want, you can always replace it with butter. Pour cold kefir, warm margarine, baking powder into the whipped mass and mix.
Then I pour in two glasses of flour, which I sifted through a sieve in advance. In one glass 200 ml, keep this in mind when measuring all the ingredients to get the same result.
Pour raisins or other dried fruits with hot water and leave for 5 minutes, then rinse it under running water, and remove the remaining moisture with a paper towel.
As I already said, I will bake kefir cupcakes in silicone molds and there is no need to grease them with anything. I put the dough in the molds in two teaspoons.
I bake muffins in an oven preheated to 190 degrees, for 20 minutes, until golden brown. To make sure they are ready, it is enough to pierce one of them with a wooden toothpick, if it is dry after that, take them out of the oven.
The finished products are very easy to take out of the mold, for this it is enough just to turn it over. I transfer them to a dish and leave to cool. The recipe for this cupcake is one of the easiest to prepare, even a beginner can handle it. Thanks to the batter and precise proportions, you will surely have no difficulties in the process.
You can sprinkle them on top with powdered sugar or pour over chocolate, but I decided to leave it that way. Delicious kefir cupcakes in silicone molds are ready.

This pastry has a mega banana taste and aroma due to the fact that bananas are not an ingredient in the filling, but one of the components of the dough. The base of the muffins is quite heavy, but don't be afraid that it won't fit in the oven. If the proportions of the ingredients are maintained, everything will definitely work out.

After the recipe time runs out, a few muffins (center and edges) need to be pierced with a wooden skewer at their peak (highest point). If batter remains on the tester stick, then the baked goods must be returned to the oven, but it is better to lower the temperature.
If the cupcakes were baked in paper or silicone molds, then removing them will not be difficult. From the first they do not need to be taken out at all, and from the second they will easily come out.
It will be more difficult with metal tins, so that the cupcakes come off easily, you need to wait until they cool completely.
If after that they are stubborn, they need to be held on a wet towel for a while.
