Oh my was it a special Saturday morning in our house!
I woke up with the need to bake muffins.
Yeah. NEED.
That happens to you guys too right?
I figured.
And if it doesn’t happen to you, you’re still in luck because feeding people is like, my favorite thing in the entire world, so I’ll happily bake up just about anything you’d like and send it your way.
Buying friends with food works.
I promise.
Especially when said food is gigantic bakery-style muffins slathered in butter…
And then strawberry jam…
Some come be my friend and I’ll give you these.
It’s a fair trade, I promise.

You must live in a different time zone than I do because I am just getting up for breakfast when you’re posting pictures already! Delicious start, might I add.
Haha – maybe so!
Wow! Those look so delicious!!
🙂
Ooh these look great! I never thought of making plain muffins before, yum!
They’re incredible!
This looks delicious and your pictures are amazing. Would love for you to share your photos with us at foodepix.com.
Will do!
I must make these! They look so fluffy!
They’re amazing! I highly recommend them!
These are perfect! I love how simple they are. I wish I was your houseguest. I would probably never leave! ha!
That would be fine by me! 🙂
We’re getting ready to go out of town and I am so making these for the car. It is going to make that roadtrip a heck of a lot more enjoyable…probably more full of crumbs, too.
Well, good thing I have ALL the ingredients in my kitchen, because I am majorly craving these right now. Maybe I’ll bring them into the CHO office tomorrow! Thanks for sharing.

Chobani
Woohoo! Let me know the reviews if you do 🙂
Drool – those look amazing. I am a muffin monster. No joke. Those wouldn’t last long in my house!
Haha – they’re not lasting very long here either!
They look sensational! I always get that urge for weekend breakfast baking – it has to be done!
Definitely! You won’t regret it! 🙂
Hi,
I have been looking @ this recipe for over 2 weeks now. Can I substitute 1 1/2 cups 0% plain Chobani with Ricotta cheese? Would that work? I have a tub of Ricotta cheese I want to use up & don’t have Chobani or Greek Yogurt.. 🙁
Your pictures are awesome btw
Thank you! I’m so glad you like them. As far as the substitution goes…I’m not really sure. I’m sorry! I would imagine it would carry a bit more of a flavor than the Greek Yogurt…but otherwise I’m not sure what changes would occur without experimenting with it myself.
If you do give it a try, let me know how it turns out!
These are excellent!! This is the recipe I have been wanting. It’s perfect. I made one batch and then after filling each muffin tin I added items for variety. We ended up with an assortment of SO yummy muffins! We did raspberry, blueberry, chocolate chip, plain, pumpkin, pistachio, lemon poppyseed.
THANK YOU for this recipe.
If you cut them in half and slightly butter then grill them til they are toasted, I think you’d really enjoy that too!
Yay! That makes me so happy! And I LOVE the idea of grilling them with butter – definitely going to try it, thank you! 🙂
Do it make 12 muffins and can it double the recipe?
Yes, it makes 12 muffins! I’ve never doubled the recipe but I believe you would be able to for 24 muffins!
