It’s houseguest season, and nothing says “welcome” like a homemade muffin straight from the freezer — warm, fragrant, and ready before the coffee finishes brewing. Today we’re making Three Incredible Muffin Recipes using the SAME simple base method:
🍫 Chocolate Chip Muffins (with cocoa nib & homemade Vanilla Rum Extract)
🌽 Cornmeal Muffins (with Vanilla Rum + Fiori di Sicilia (my version) for the most incredible scent and flavor twist)
🫐 Blueberry Muffins (brightened with Homemade Vanilla + 4 Citrus Extract)
All three are freezer-friendly, houseguest-approved, and use real pantry staples — including homemade flavored extracts (don’t worry, I’ll teach you THOSE too).
This video is packed with:
🥚 One muffin method used 3 ways
🤫 Jump cuts to skip repetitive steps (you’ll see what’s different, not watch me stir three times)
🧊 Freezer-ready instructions included
🍁 Whether you're prepping for holiday weekends or just love cozy baking, this method will save your sanity while KEEPING your kitchen feeling thoughtful and homemade.
