Brown Sugar Muffins w/ Food Storage
This is going to be added to my list of popular recipes, as I am sure we are all beginning to believe food storage was a good idea. I personally never thought I’d really use it at all. But here we are. Food storage for the win! #thisis2020

Brown Sugar Muffins
Cream together:
1/2 cup butter or shortening
1 cup brown sugar (I did about 3/4 cup)
1 egg
Sift together and add to creamed mixture:
2 cups flour (I did 1 cup all purpose and 1 cup whole wheat)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
Add:
1 cup milk
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Optional:
1/2 cup ground flaxseed
1/2 cup nuts
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup quick oats
(I doubled the recipe and added 1 egg, 1/2 cup ground flaxseed, 1/2 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup quick oats.)
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Gently mix together and scoop into a paper lined muffin tin. Bake for 12-14 minutes, until muffin springs back when lightly touched. Remove from the oven and cool slightly. Doubling the batch will make about 40 muffins.

This recipe came from a dear friend, and great baker Erin Summers. It was published in a church cookbook over 10+ years ago. It’s been our family’s favorite since. And with all that’s going on, comfort food is a REAL thing. And these provide comfort to the heart, mind, body and soul.
Happy Baking! XO
