Mormon Muffins

"I recently visited my aunt in Ogden UT. We stopped by The Greenery for these muffins. After some diligent hunting we found their recipe. These are almost like a yeast bread when fresh baked. Serve them the Utah way with honey butter. Prep time is approximate. May be shorter."

  1. Actually you can find the recipe right on the greenery restaurants website. You're supposed to let the batter sit overnight to soften all the bran before baking.
     
  2. Just like mom's! (And yes, she is Mormon so she makes authentic momo muffins :) Delicious, and definitely soften the cereal with the hot water and I like to serve with the honey butter recipe #37988. It makes alot of muffins but that is good because I could not stop eating them!
     
  3. I have been searching for this recipe for about 10 years now!! Ever since I had them at the very same restaurant!!! Thanks for finding it and posting it!! Another thing they have there that I dearly love is their sauteed butter and garlic mushrooms! Yummy! I make the alot since I had them at the The Greenery......thanks again for this fantastic muffin recipe!!
     
  4. These muffins have a good flavor and texture. They would have been better had the instructions explained the boiling water should be poured over the cereal and let set while mixing the remainder of the ingredients. I will probably try these again with that adaptation.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Not so much a river otter as a desert otter these days since I moved to the Gila Valley as a mail order bride to a miner. I am a stay at home wife and mom for the time being so I have been using cooking as a creative outlet and way to occupy my suddenly vast ammounts of free time. I have an old, ancient copy of the Joy of Cooking that I swear by for the basics, but recently found the Martha Stewart recipe annuals to be very much to my liking. Since I am living in the Sonoran desert, I am inclined to all things spicy. I am fascinated by machaca burritos at the moment which are typical of mining fare.
