Grandma’s Honey Muffins have quickly become a favorite recipe in my home. These delicious muffins are soft and tender, slightly sweet, extremely easy to make gluten-free, and they really do complement any meal. 

Before we begin, I want to tell you that the pictures within this post are of the gluten-free version. Although either the regular or GF versions can be frozen for use later these delicious morsels are always best served fresh.

The Perfect Accompaniment

Because they pair well will nearly any type of meat or side dish you just can’t go wrong with Grandma’s Honey Muffins!

Soft and Tender

It seems to me that these fabulous muffins could nearly pass for cupcakes. That’s probably because they are so soft and tender and have just the right amount of sweetness. 

Jumbo or Mini Muffins

Rather than making regular-size muffins, feel free to use a jumbo non-stick muffin pan to make extra-large muffins or use a mini non-stick muffin pan to make bite-size mini muffins. However, remember you’ll need to adjust the baking times for either variation!!!  

Extra Drizzle of Honey

Although Grandma’s Honey Muffins contain honey, I personally like to serve them with an additional drizzle of raw honey and softened butter. However, don’t stop there! These muffins also pair well with other condiments such as blueberry, raspberry, strawberry, peach preserves, apple butter, fruit marmalade, and blackberry jam.

These muffins freeze well up to 1 month. To serve: allow frozen muffins to reach room temperature, then heat in a microwave just until they are warm (approximately 10-20 seconds - depending on your power setting).

Pardon me while I grab another muffin!
