Like the title says, I got the idea for Garlic Muffins from a dream. There are some key points of difference between the dream muffins and real ones. The most important one being that real muffins are baked in the oven while dream muffins are baked in the dishwasher.
After dreaming about these muffins, I knew I had to make them and they turned out better than I imagined (maybe using an oven had something to do with that). These are great to add to a bread basket for something a little different, but I love serving them on the side of a bowl of soup or chili.
Ingredients
For muffins:
- 2 cups flour
- 3 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 – 5 cloves garlic, minced
For topping:
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400 F and grease muffin tins with cooking spray
- Mix flour, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl. Set aside
- In a small bowl, mix egg, milk, garlic and onion
- Make a well in the centre of dry ingredients and pour in butter and wet mixture. Mix gently using as few strokes as possible. You want to incorporate the dry and wet ingredients but only just – don’t over do it
- Pour in to 12 muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full
- Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
- Cool slightly (about 10 minutes)
- While muffins are cooling, make the topping by mixing butter and garlic salt
- Brush butter topping over muffins
