Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • Muffin Mix or Flour (1 cup)
  • Milk or Plant-Based Milk (3/4 cup)
  • Eggs (1 large)
  • Sweetener (Honey, Maple Syrup, or Sugar – 2 tbsp)
  • Spices (Cinnamon, Nutmeg – 1/2 tsp each)

Mix-Ins

  • Fresh or Frozen Fruit (1/2 cup, e.g., berries, diced apples)
  • Nuts or Seeds (1/4 cup, e.g., almonds, walnuts, chia seeds)
  • Chocolate Chips (optional, 2 tbsp)

Optional Toppings

  • Greek Yogurt or Cream Cheese (2 tbsp)
  • Fresh Fruit (for garnish, as desired)
  • Nuts (for garnish, as desired)
  • Honey or Maple Syrup (for drizzle, as desired)
  • Sprinkle of Cinnamon (for garnish, as desired)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Muffin Base: Mix your muffin mix or flour blend with milk, eggs, sweetener, and spices following your recipe or package instructions. Stir gently until combined, being careful not to overmix to maintain a fluffy texture.
  2. Add Your Mix-Ins: Carefully fold in fresh or frozen fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips. Distribute them evenly while avoiding deflating the batter so each bite is flavorful and textured.
  3. Cook Your Muffin Mixture: Pour the batter into a microwave-safe bowl or small oven-safe dish. Cook in the microwave for 2-3 minutes or bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes until set and warm, creating a cake-like muffin base perfect for bowls.
  4. Add Your Toppings: Once cooked, top your Muffins Bowl with fresh fruit, a spoonful of Greek yogurt or cream cheese, nuts, a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flavor and texture.
  5. Enjoy Warm: Scoop the Muffins Bowl into your favorite dish and enjoy immediately while warm for the best taste and comfort.

Notes

  • Use ripe fruit to add natural sweetness and maintain moisture balance.
  • Don’t overmix the batter; gently fold to keep it light and airy.
  • Adjust microwave cooking time based on your appliance wattage; start checking after 2 minutes to avoid drying out.
  • Add protein boosters like chia seeds or protein powder for extra nutrition.
  • Serve immediately or cover with a cloth to keep warm and soft.
