Coffee muffins recipes – what could be better than eating a delicious muffin with a lace of coffee in it?!
We can’t seem to think of many other coffee flavored treats to make at home!
We love muffins, which is why we went in search for the best coffee muffins recipes out there.
But first we’d like to tell you a little bit about the history of muffins, where they originated and how they evolved.
The History Of Muffins: How And Where They Were Born
Let’s start, in fact, with this story by debunking what for many will be a myth: muffins are not originally from the United States, but come from England and English muffins are quite different from their American cousins.
In their ancient origin (and we are talking about the Middle Ages), in Wales peasants were already eating a sort of “moofin”, they were round and leavened scones that were cooked on a griddle.
They could be round or even ring-shaped, and were cut in half and spread with butter.
From Wales, these treats soon made their way to England and the Victorian era.
It is in the Victorian era that these sweets are officially given the word muffin, a word that seems to come from the French “moufflet” which indicates a very soft bread, or maybe from the German “muffe” which is instead a kind of cake.
During the nineteenth century, these sweets became very popular and they arrived in America.
The American muffin is sweet baked in single-portion moulds, bigger and higher because it is leavened thanks to the use of chemical yeast – invented by Americans around 1800.
Moreover, according to the typical American mania, the one of improving the product, countless variations were invented and above all, a higher quantity of sugar was added.
The first official American muffin recipe dates back to 1796, published in Amelia Simmons’ American Cookery, the first “official” cookbook of American cuisine.
In those years the muffin mod was also born, because, whereas the dough of English muffins is more compact and does not need a mold, the American one is a sort of liquid batter, therefore it needs to be placed in a single-portion mold.
The muffins were born, therefore, in England, but its homeland has become the United States, where they are prepared by many people with all sorts of flavors!
Basic Rules For Preparing Perfect Muffins
We love preparing muffins because they are good, simple and quick to make.
You just need to follow a few, but basic rules:
- You must mix the dry and liquid ingredients separately.
- When the two compounds are combined, do not mix too much, but mix everything quickly, leaving the mixture lumpy because it will be the lumps that, during the leavening phase, will give that softness and lightness that characterizes the muffin.
Now muffins have no more secrets for you, and so now let’s move on to the most delicious coffee muffins recipes!
