“These muffins remind me of my trip to Italy, says Cheryl H. of Columbus, Ohio. They make great light bites at a buffet or party. I often freeze extra basil so I can enjoy them during cooler months.” TASTY TIP Pair the tasty muffins with a hearty bowl of soup when the air gets nippy…or wrap several with some cream cheese spreads for a quick hostess gift, Cheryl suggests.
Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 cup king arthur premium 100% whole wheat flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup vegetable broth
3 tablespoons canola oil
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
1/2 cup loosely packed basil leaves, chopped
1/4 cup chopped walnuts
2 garlic cloves, minced
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the egg, buttermilk, broth and oil. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
2. Set aside 1 tablespoon cheese. Fold the basil, walnuts, garlic and remaining cheese into batter. Fill paper-lined muffin cups two-thirds full; sprinkle with reserved cheese.
3. Bake at 400° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm. Yield: 1 dozen.
