If you want to give a try to a different muffins, just check this Mantecadas. Mantecadas is a bread-like muffins which gets ready very quick and easy to make to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea or else for a brunch on weekend or else simply to serve some sudden visits. Do you know, the best part of this muffins is the addition of yeast, yes you heard it rite. This muffins calls for both baking powder and instant yeast, seriously while going through this recipe i was simply surprised to see the addition of yeast. Initially i thought its was typo but then when i checked for the recipe video in Youtube, i came to know that instant yeast is a must to bake these fantastic fluffy and spongy Mexican bread-like muffins.
Mantecadas, these muffins are our recent favourite and i have already prepared twice as this muffin batter is very easy to whisk and bake. Though yeast is added, this batter is quite an easy one to prepare with less efforts. After enjoying this muffin, the sponginess of this muffins was something quite different from the other muffins. This muffins wont smell yeasty or eggy, though these both ingredients are must for preparing this muffins batter. However i have completely fallen in love with this recipe. Even my younger one approved that this Mexican muffin is one among the best muffins he have tasted yet. Give a try to this muffins, am sure you will love it to the core.

The muffins with yeast sound interesting..I have read quite a few cake / muffin recipes with yeast, and wondered why the use of both yeast and baking powder. I must try these to know how they taste. I am sure we can substitute the eggs.
That's an interesting recipe. Never heard of yeast in muffins. Your muffins look soft and spongy tempting me for a bite. Will try this asap!
Interesting to see the addition of yeast, and it's good to know it doesn't taste yeasty. They look perfect and nicely risen.
Never tried muffins with yeast. They came out so soft and look moist as well.
