As I was leafing through, wondering if I might find something interesting to make for lunch, I came across this recipe for Mayonnaise Muffins and fell in love. These are so easy and quick! I will definitely keep my universal muffin recipe for when I have specific ingredients I want to use, but this recipe is awesome for its sheer simplicity. And with only three ingredients (five if you don't have self-rising flour) it's super cheap too!
Mayonnaise Muffins
1 cup self-rising flour (or substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour [I used some wheat flour], 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder, and 1/2 tsp. salt)
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
Combine all ingredients; stir until smooth. Spoon batter into greased 6-cup muffin pans, filling two-thirds full. Bake at 425 for 10 to 12 minutes. Yield: 1/2 dozen (I doubled the recipe to make a full dozen).
So quick and easy! The muffins don't have a distinct flavor of their own, and therefore lend themselves splendidly to both sweet and savory accompaniments. Served with butter and jam, alongside carrot and celery sticks, they made a delicious lunch.

Oh Stephanie. When you said since the year you were born (1983) I felt so old! lol. My oldest son was born in 1985!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a recipe like this one!
Hi Steph,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you can use Fat free mayo and low fat Vanilla Almond Breeze (Almond Milk)?
I don't see why not... Gosh how simple are these muffins??

That sounds almost exactly like a simple Weight Watchers biscuit recipe I used to use...except I think I used sour cream or plain yogurt instead of mayo. Yum!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I would have never thought that muffins could be made with mayo!
ReplyDeleteYeah, super, like I wasn't feeling old enough with my oldest turning 18 today. Now I read this and realize that I graduated high school when you were turning 1!!!
ReplyDeleteI just posted a giveaway too :) Those muffins look quick and easy!
ReplyDeleteThose muffins look quick and easy. I love going to thrift stores and browsing around in the cookbook. You can find so many vintage cookbooks.
ReplyDeleteThese sound so delicious. I've also never thought to look for a cookbook at a thrift store. I have only looked at garage sales and used bookstores. Thanks for both ideas!
ReplyDeleteI ran out of both breakfast muffins and sour cream which I normally use when baking them. For some reason, I got the idea that muffins could be made with mayo though I never tried them before. A quick online look revealed tons of recipes for mayo muffins. And that's what I will be working on in a few minutes - am eagerly looking forward to them.
ReplyDeleteCooking is my hobby so a word of advice from this old bachelor: if you have a son or grandson and want to do him a big favor, teach him how to cook. It is the world's greatest hobby!
had a nice large mayo muffin for breakfast - it was yummy!!!
