The most delicious baked goods are the ones you made yourself, but I don’t bake them myself, my wife does it, and that makes the baked goods even tastier. When there is time, my wife bakes something delicious, most often kefir muffins in the oven - the children simply adore them.
Of course, the recipe for these cupcakes was compiled from several: there were a lot of experiments when preparing them, so I don’t even remember how we came to our ideal one.
The basis of the recipe was given to the wife by her godmother, the wife changed something, added something, and our simple kefir muffins were born.
From the outside, of course, it was interesting to watch her creativity, although it was a pity for the wasted products. But, in principle, I was not very sad about this, because if nothing worked out at all, then the dish was fed to animals or dogs, because we run our own farmstead.
Having collected several recipes, leaving the most necessary and inventing something of our own, we got a simple and inexpensive recipe. All the ingredients can be found in any simple store, but since we live in the village, we have some of our own products: kefir, for example.

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 preparation. 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.

Video recipe for making kefir muffins
Hello to all fans of simple and delicious baking! On the big stage we have kefir again - this miracle ingredient, thanks to which muffins and cookies come out just right. And today’s highlight of the program will be kefir muffins.
Muffins, if suddenly everyone is not already in the know, are sweet pastries a la cupcake, which are often made with fruit, nut, chocolate filling and in general any filling that your imagination is capable of. Their main feature is their size; a muffin is usually no larger than an adult palm. But you will agree that size somehow magically affects the taste, and these mini-cupcakes not only look extremely appetizing, but also taste different from their serious large counterparts. So for lovers of muffins in all their forms, having muffin tins in the kitchen cabinet is a real must have.
Some people make do with simple paper molds, while others use metal or Teflon molds. And some are a die-hard fan of baking in silicone molds.
But regardless of the material, if you're the proud owner of a muffin tin, I'm sure you'll be heading to the kitchen as soon as you read the recipe. After all, it is extremely simple, we don’t even need a mixer.
Quick Lemon Baking
Muffins with lemon have a slight piquant sourness and a simply enchanting citrus aroma, so put the vanilla in the back drawer of the table. From now on you will bake exclusively with citrus fruits.
For 8 muffins you will need:
• 1 large lemon; • 125 g flour; • 25 semolina; • 100 g of sugar and kefir; • 50 g vegetable oil; • egg; • 1/2 tsp. soda and salt. The method for making lemon muffins is not much different from others. It is also necessary to mix dry products first, then liquid ones. The liquid ingredients also include the zest, removed from the lemon using a regular fine grater, and lemon juice. The second stage is the combination of two mixtures. That's all - the dough is ready. All that remains is to put it in molds and put it in the oven, preheated to 220°C. We recommend checking readiness with a toothpick - on average, the process takes about a quarter of an hour. As you probably already understood: muffins are a real lifesaver for housewives. The dough is prepared in a matter of minutes, and they are baked quite quickly. And the result can impress even the most picky gourmet.
Basic recipe for kefir muffins:
Grocery list:
- butter - 125 gr.
- medium-sized eggs - 3 pcs.
- granulated sugar - 150 gr.
- kefir – 250 ml
- flour - 250 gr.
- baking powder - 2 tsp.
- salt - a pinch
- powdered sugar - for sprinkling
Don't forget: all the ingredients for muffins are always brought to room temperature!
We will prepare it like this:
- First of all, preheat the oven to 180º. If your molds are not made of silicone, then you need to grease them with oil or line them with paper capsules.
- Melt the butter over low heat and leave to cool.
- In a deep bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar. Add pre-melted and now cooled butter to them and mix lightly again.
- Now the next step is kefir - the temperature of which must be brought to room temperature in advance - add it and mix again with a whisk.
- Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a separate container and mix all the dry ingredients together.
- Gradually, in several additions, add the dry mixture into the liquid mixture, stirring thoroughly each time with a whisk or just a spoon. As a result, we will get a rather liquid mass, close in consistency to sour cream.
- Pour the dough into silicone molds (or those that you currently have on hand) and put them in an oven already heated to 180 degrees for 30-35 minutes.
- When baked, “correct” muffins rise above the pan like a cap and crack appetizingly on top.
- All you have to do is cool the finished cupcakes, remove them from the molds and add the finishing touch by sprinkling them with powdered sugar.
Voila! Making them seems to be even faster than learning a recipe.
But we won’t stop there, and right now we’ll come up with something more interesting with you.
Recipe with ham
Let's prepare for 100 g of ham:
• a glass of 200 ml of kefir; • egg; • 50 g butter (if butter, then melted); • 205 g flour; • 1/2 tsp. soda, salt; • 1 tsp. Sahara; • 50 g cheese; • 2 tsp. sesame; • pepper, dill, Provençal herbs, thyme. Baking time: 40 minutes at 180°C
Knead the dough for kefir muffins with ham:
1. Add soda to kefir - this carries out the process of quenching it. 2. Break an egg into them. 3. Add oil. Stir in salt, sugar and other spices. 4. Stir in flour. 5. Next, add ham and cheese to the dough. They must be finely chopped - otherwise the muffins will not rise. 6. Fill the baking dish 2/3 full, sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. All that remains is to bake and you can serve the muffins with ham and cheese on the table.
How to improve a basic muffin recipe?
And here, as you certainly guessed, we will talk about cupcakes with fillings. We will look at elegant chocolate ones, banana ones so beloved by children, and also with apples and currants.
Chocolate muffins
There are two ways to go here:
- Firstly, you can simply add chocolate drops to the dough made according to the basic recipe described above, and the finished muffins will immediately be transformed.
- The second option is to use cocoa in the dough, then the muffins themselves will become a noble chocolate color, and the aroma emanating from the oven will haunt you throughout the minutes allotted for baking. To do this, in the basic recipe, instead of 50 grams of flour, add 50 grams of cocoa (you can take more of it, if desired). And don’t forget to sift it to avoid unpleasant lumps in the finished baked goods.
Muffins with apples or currants
For lovers of sourness in baked goods
also expanse - for example, dried cranberries or cherries are perfect for muffin dough according to the basic recipe. I suggest you pay attention to the following options.
- Firstly, a win-win combination of apples and cinnamon. Everything here is down to elementary simple. We cut sour apples (or any that you like in fillings or just have on hand) into small cubes, add cinnamon to them, mix and add to the dough made according to the basic recipe at the very end. 1 apple will be enough.
- The second filling option for cupcakes, which will give them an amazing smell, taste and color, is black currant. Take whatever you have, fresh or frozen. Let's add a little currants to the finished dough and get a new, simple, but very special dessert.
Banana muffins
And these cupcakes are a real joy for children, and no less joy for mothers, since you can use already overripe and completely ugly dark bananas. Please note that we no longer need kefir here.
Grocery list:
- bananas - 3 pcs. (this is about 400 gr.)
- butter - 100 gr.
- granulated sugar - 150 gr.
- eggs - 2 pcs.
- flour - 250 gr.
- baking powder - 2 tsp.
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 180º and line the muffin tin with paper capsules.
- Mash the bananas with a fork into “porridge”.
- Beat the butter, softened to room temperature, with sugar until fluffy, and then add the banana puree and mix well. It is more convenient to use a mixer for this recipe.
- Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each.
- Now add the flour sifted with baking powder and mix lightly with a spatula. When the dry ingredients combine with the “wet” ones, pour the dough into the molds.
- Bake banana muffins in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. Carefully monitor their readiness so as not to dry out the cupcakes.
The “crumb” of these muffins will be slightly moist, which is generally typical for banana baked goods. And the aroma will bring all the banana fans in your family, young and old, to the kitchen. By the way, chocolate drops are perfect for this recipe.
Please note that muffins with filling usually rise a little less in the oven than those baked without additional ingredients.
And these improved cupcakes are great to serve while still warm.

Chocolate cupcakes in silicone molds with kefir.
Baking with kefir always turns out very tender and tasty. These cupcakes are easy to make and made with readily available ingredients. You will only need to spend 10 minutes preparing the dough, and the oven will do the rest. Chocolate muffins made with kefir have a moderately moist and fluffy texture. The cupcakes taste incredibly chocolatey with a moist, nutty filling. If you don't have Nutella, you can add one piece of chocolate to the muffins or even add nuts, fruits or berries. It all depends on your imagination and preferences. These cupcakes can be prepared for a holiday table or on a weekday for your family. Your children will especially like them. Chocolate cupcakes are baked with kefir in silicone molds, which greatly simplifies the cooking process. But you can also use paper or metal molds, as you prefer.
Ingredients:
- Kefir – 200 ml.
- Flour – 1.5 cups
- Sugar – 100 g.
- Margarine – 100 g.
- Cocoa powder – 2 tbsp
- Egg – 1 pc.
- Soda quenched with vinegar - 1 tsp
- Nutella – 10 tsp
Recipe for chocolate cupcakes with kefir.
1. Using a whisk, beat the egg and sugar into a fluffy mass. At first it will be difficult to beat, but then the mass will become fluffy and thick, as in the photo.
2. Melt the margarine in the microwave or on the stove. Instead of margarine, you can use butter. Let it cool to room temperature and pour into the egg mixture. Mix with a whisk.
3. Add kefir and mix. My kefir is not fatty. It’s better when the kefir is more sour, then the muffins will turn out more tender.
4. First sift the flour and add it all at once. Place baking soda quenched with vinegar on top of the flour and mix with a whisk into a homogeneous mass.
5. Take cocoa powder and put it in the dough. Use cocoa powder, only the one you are confident in, with the highest content of cocoa beans, not the opinion of 80%.
6. Mix well with a whisk. The dough will be thick, a little thicker than homemade sour cream.
7. The silicone mold does not need to be lubricated with anything; the dough will not stick to it. Using a spoon, spoon the dough up to half the level of the molds. Take a teaspoon of Nutella and put it in the dough. Cover with chocolate dough. Do not fill the pan to the brim with batter, as the cupcakes will rise a lot during baking. Place in a preheated oven to bake for 30 minutes at 180C. The readiness of the cupcakes can be seen by the cracks that form during baking.
8. Chocolate cupcakes with kefir are ready! We take them out of the oven and let them cool. We take them out of the molds and serve them with your favorite dessert drink. It is better to store cupcakes in a plastic bag or plastic container. The next day, the cupcakes taste even better and take on an even richer chocolate flavor. Bon appetit!
Many people love kefir muffins because they are quick and easy to prepare. To do this, all you need to do is mix all the ingredients specified in the recipe and pour the resulting mass into molds or a large form, and then all you have to do is wait a little. Many housewives prepare muffins with kefir according to a variety of recipes, but in any case, you need to know a few little secrets to ensure that the result is always impeccable.
- In order for kefir muffins to turn out fluffy, the kefir must be warm when added to the dough.
- All ingredients must be at the same temperature.
- Under no circumstances should soda be extinguished before adding it to the dough, as this would defeat the whole purpose: the carbon dioxide evaporates and the dough remains dense.
- If kefir is not sour enough, you can add lemon juice or acid to it so that all the soda is quenched, otherwise the muffins will have an unpleasant aftertaste.
- Modern housewives are increasingly using silicone molds to prepare cupcakes. However, you need to be aware that if they are placed close to each other, the shape of the finished baked goods may be damaged. Many housewives use metal molds the old fashioned way - it’s convenient and familiar.
You can add raisins, candied fruits, nuts or dried fruits to any kefir muffins. The recipe for each kefir muffin is as unique as the method of preparing it. See for yourself by looking at our selection of delicious, original and uncomplicated recipes with the appetizing name “Kefir Cupcakes”.

There is nothing tastier than homemade baking, and there is nothing easier than preparing something for your family for tea, for example, kefir muffins in silicone molds. Recipes with photos can now be found everywhere, because this is a fairly popular dessert; recently, cupcakes can be seen in all grocery stores and pastry shops. And preparing such baked goods at home is as easy as shelling pears. Moreover, every day you can make cupcakes with different fillings and a new composition. The family will definitely be delighted with such experiments in the kitchen.
Classic recipe for kefir muffins
If you need to make regular cupcakes, you can use this recipe. Here's what you'll need:
- one glass of kefir
- 250 grams of flour
- two eggs
- 100 grams of sugar
- 80 grams butter
- 10 grams of baking powder or slaked soda
- a pinch of vanillin
- strawberry jam or any other to taste
This amount of ingredients makes six or seven cupcakes - it depends on the size of the molds.
On a note!
Experienced confectioners advise taking out all the ingredients that are stored in the refrigerator about half an hour before starting cooking. This way all products will be at the same temperature.
First you need to put the butter in a large bowl, then add the sugar and eggs. All products should be mashed well; for this you can use a fork or a kitchen whisk.
Then you need to gradually pour in kefir, and the mixture must be constantly stirred.
Separately mix baking powder with flour. If soda is used, it is first “quenched” with lemon juice or vinegar. Here it is better to add vanillin. Everything is mixed well, then the egg-sugar-kefir mixture is added here. The dough needs to be mixed, and if it looks like biscuit, then everything is correct.
After that, take the molds, grease them with oil, and put the dough in them. To make neat cupcakes, the pans should not be filled completely. If the dough reaches the very edge, then the cupcakes will turn out with caps and will crack - everything is individual here, who likes it and how they like it.
You can also add jam to the muffins. Half a teaspoon will be enough. Place the molds with the dough in an oven preheated to two hundred degrees. The cupcakes are baked for about thirty to thirty-five minutes.
Chocolate cupcakes
For those who love coffee, we can recommend making chocolate muffins. The recipes are simple, in silicone molds with a photo, they are easy to implement. To make these cupcakes you will need:
- two hundred milliliters of kefir
- one egg
- two hundred grams of flour
- one hundred grams of butter
- five tablespoons cocoa powder
- baking powder - ten grams
- one hundred grams of sugar
- a pinch of vanillin
First, the flour must be combined with cocoa. Then add sugar, a pinch of vanillin and baking powder. Mix everything well and set aside.
In another container, break the egg, add butter (it should be softened) and kefir. Beat with a whisk until a slight foam forms.
Then we combine this mixture with another, where there is flour and cocoa, mix everything well. Ideally, the dough should be medium thick. Then we carefully fill the silicone molds and put them in the oven at two hundred degrees. After half an hour, we check - if the muffins are slightly cracked on top, then they can be removed from the oven. They should be served cooled for tea.
The simplest
To prepare them we will need: two glasses of kefir, a glass of sugar, a couple of eggs, 300 grams of sifted premium wheat flour, three tablespoons of vegetable oil, a little vanidin, a little baking powder for the dough. And we begin preparing muffins with kefir.
- Mix vanillin with flour (sift it first!), baking powder and sugar in a deep container. If desired, add grated nutmeg.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add kefir plus vegetable oil. Mix.
- Then combine both mixtures into one mass, stirring thoroughly without any lumps.
- Distribute the resulting thick dough into baking pans, but do not fill them to the very top.
- Bake at 180 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove the finished baked goods from the oven. It is most convenient to make kefir muffins in silicone molds. They always turn out rosy, tasty, fluffy and aromatic. They are very convenient to remove without fear of breaking their shape.
Kefir muffins with cottage cheese
Muffins with cottage cheese are also very easy to prepare, especially since the number of ingredients is minimal:
- one egg
- a glass of flour
- 100 grams of cottage cheese
- 100 grams of granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters kefir
- vanillin
- baking powder
- a pinch of salt
To prepare these muffins, you will need soft cottage cheese. It needs to be transferred to a deep container, add an egg, add sugar, baking powder, vanillin and mix. You can add a pinch of salt. The mixture must be thoroughly rubbed with a fork, then you can add kefir and mix everything again. Then gradually add flour. You must try to ensure that there are no too large lumps in the dough.
While the dough is being prepared, you need to preheat the oven to 200 - 220 degrees. Then spread the dough into the molds and bake for about twenty to twenty-five minutes. The cupcakes need to be removed from the molds and cooled.
Apple and Cinnamon Muffins
Apple and cinnamon are a wonderful combination often used in desserts. This duo will make kefir muffins even more delicious, and the aroma and spiciness of the dessert will be unique. Here is the list of ingredients:
- one big apple
- one glass of flour
- glass of kefir
- two chicken eggs
- pinch of cinnamon
- one hundred grams of sugar
- tablespoon sunflower oil
- baking soda and lemon juice or vinegar
First, let's prepare the apple - it needs to be washed, dried a little and peeled. It is better to remove the peel, remove the center and seeds. Then the fruit must be cut into small thin squares. Sprinkle the apple pieces with a spoon of sugar and a pinch of cinnamon.
Then we take a container where we will knead the dough. Pour kefir, add oda on the tip of a knife, previously slaked in lemon juice. As soon as small bubbles appear, add two eggs to the mixture and mix. All dry products must be mixed in another container and mixed well. Only after this can you combine both mixtures in one bowl.
Then pour a spoonful of sunflower oil into the dough and mix everything well again. At the very end, add the apples and mix gently again.
These cupcakes are baked at 180 degrees. While the oven is heating up, fill the molds. The dessert needs to bake for about thirty minutes. To find out if the cupcakes are baked, you can pierce one with a toothpick. If there are no pieces of dough left on it and it is dry, then you can remove the baked goods from the oven.
