Mormon Muffins are perfectly soft and fluffy. No boring bran muffins here! Serve them with honey butter and you’re all set.
Oh these are just from Heaven. You must eat them warm with honey butter. You must. They come from one of my favorite restaurants, The Greenery. That’s where my favorite sandwich Fowl Play comes from, as well. Mormons settled in Utah way back in the day (1847) and that’s where the name comes from. These are not your boring bran muffins. These are incredible and you won’t even know they are made of anything resembling healthy. Not that they taste junk foody (new word, ladies and gents), because they don’t. They just don’t taste like boring, healthy food. They make me close my eyes every time I eat one. Every time. Ask my husband, who rolls his eyes at me each time. The mix will last in the fridge for one week, so you can make these as you want them and they will be fresh!

Makes about 2 dozen regular sized muffins. Try these in jumbo muffin tins. They'd be fabulous!

Those are famous muffins! I used to eat at the Greenery when I lived in Ogden-YUM!
I use to make these muffins many moons ago – thanks for sharing this great recipe. I would like mine with raisins added too. Your pictures are always GRRRReat!
Oh, heaven come to Mama! Those look soooooo great. Going to try and make those for sure!
Thank you so much for linking up with us for Muffin Monday and sharing your recipe. The Mormon Muffins look out-of-this-world! I will definitely be baking up some of them!
The honey butter is a necessity with these muffins. The Greenery has extraordinary honey butter. I cannot find the recipe anywhere. Do you know what's in their honey butter besides Utah honey and butter, of course?
I use a honey butter found in the refrigerated section by the pop open biscuits. It tastes really good like The Greenery's. It's made in Utah and in a yellow bottle.
These look delicious! I would like to get your permission to use one of your photos in a guest post I'm doing for a major blog network on Mormon food culture. Please contact me at theluckywife {at} thesaturdayeveningpot {dot} com!
