Been on another muffin kick lately, making them like they are going out of style and freezing, but getting tired of making the same old stuff.
Peanut butter banana chocolate chip, Matcha, Tropical (banana, pineapple, coconut), Pumpkin and Fruitcake muffins are OK but getting old.
Anybody got anything new I can add to the arsenal? Looking for new ideas.
I do have plans for a maple/bacon muffin.

Actually this is the recipe I use. I know it doesn't sound the like a good combo but they are yummy ! Fresh or frozen are fine, I prefer fresh cranberries.
•2 cups all-purpose flour, sift before measuring
•2/3 cup granulated sugar
•1 tablespoon baking powder
•1/2 teaspoon salt
•1 egg
•3/4 cup milk
•3 tablespoons vegetable oil
•3/4 cup fresh or frozen cranberries, chopped
•2 tablespoons finely grated orange peel
•2 tablespoons chopped pecans or walnuts
Sift dry ingredients together into bowl. Measure remaining ingredients into a well in center of the dry ingredients. Stir just until all flour is moistened. Fill 12 greased muffin cups or paper liners about 2/3 full. Bake at 450° for 18 to 20 minutes. Makes 1 dozen muffins.
If using self-rising flour, omit the baking powder and salt.
