Muffins are like small buns. And the origin of this word makes muffins closer to bread than to cakes (from the French word moufflet- soft bread).
The traditions of preparing this dish differ among different nations. Americans prepare such baked goods using baking powder or baking soda. In the UK, muffins are made with yeast. American and English muffins are very different in appearance. The former look like muffins, and the latter look like sandwich buns.
You can make delicious kefir muffins using baking powder or baking soda.

You can make muffins with any filling that your imagination suggests. Although many people prefer the usual cupcakes, muffins are interesting precisely because of the variety of additional ingredients that are added to the dough during cooking. It is highly controversial that muffin batter can and should even be mixed so quickly that lumps of flour remain when baked. As if this is precisely their peculiarity. A well-kneaded dough will make the finished muffins much tastier. And the difference will be more likely in the more modest content of the baked goods than in the muffins.
Bon appetit and creative success!
Good day, dear friends and guests of the site. I want to share with you a wonderful recipe that you can prepare to please your loved ones. Berry muffins are prepared quite simply and quickly.
For muffins I will need margarine, which can be replaced with butter. This is for those who don't like to use margarine in their baking.
You can wait for the margarine to melt on its own, or you can melt it in the microwave. This will not affect the final result.
I use margarine for eggs.
That's where the sugar goes.
I mix all these ingredients with a whisk and add kefir to the bowl.
The flour needs to be sifted. This is necessary so that it is saturated with oxygen.
The dough turns out moderately thick.
I will use two types of frozen berries. I have black currants and meadow strawberries. It seems to me that the combination is not bad.
I add slightly defrosted berries to the dough. I try to do this very carefully so that the juice does not leak for years.
For baking, I use paper molds that are not quite convenient for me. Carefully place the dough in them. As it turned out, I went a little overboard with the amount of dough. Should have added a little less.
I baked the muffins in the oven at 180 degrees for 20 minutes. I checked the readiness with a dry wooden stick. Ready-made berry muffins can be sprinkled with powder.
The combination of black currants and meadow strawberries turned out to be great. The dough also turned out to be tasty and soft.
Bon appetit!

How to bake muffins
The dough can be immediately poured into molds. I use silicone molds, you can use paper baking molds or those you have in the house. Unlike other types of dough, there is no need to leave the dough to “ripen”. Pour 1 full tablespoon of dough into the molds. Add the filling. I took frozen blackcurrants and cherries.
Pour 1 full tablespoon into the molds and add the filling.
Top with another 1 full tablespoon of dough. Do not fill the molds to the brim as the dough will rise well. With this in mind, we leave room in the molds for this.
Top with 1 more tablespoon of dough, but not all the way to the edges.
