Muffins: A Classic<br />

By: Lauren Lin<br />

Cooking<br />

Corner<br />

Winter has begun to make its way into our lives, and we now need those simple pleasures that we can always<br />

turn to (especially after battling the freezing temperatures). Biting into a delicious, freshly baked muffin is the perfect<br />

way to bring comfort and warmth back into the unforgiving cold. Muffins are a classic treat that everyone in the family<br />

can enjoy, but it can be difficult to find a recipe for muffins that doesn’t require many ingredients, or a lot of time and<br />

effort, while still being tasty.<br />

After my disastrous first attempt at baking muffins, I turned to the Internet and countless cookbooks for help.<br />

Out of all the recipes that I have tried, this one is by far my absolute favourite (and my family’s as well). The recipe is<br />

very simple, time-saving, and can be easily personalized for people with specific tastes, or allergies (for example, you can<br />

substitute the dairy products with soy milk).<br />
