Think of the Sfouf Batter as a Template!<\/h1>\n

This has become my staple muffin recipe\u2014a super-simple batter that I rely on and customize with different flavors.<\/p>\n

My sfouf muffin recipe starts with a thick semolina-flour batter seasoned with turmeric powder. You can keep it plain, just like you would when making sfouf (the Lebanese semolina turmeric sheet cake), or add your choice of flavors and mix-ins.<\/p>\n

Think of the batter as a template\u2014one that you can play around with to create your favorite flavor combinations. I tested the second batch with bananas and Nutella, and the result exceeded my expectations. For the third batch, I added apples and raisins, left out the turmeric, and topped the muffins with a crumble layer. Another victory!<\/p>\n

I\u2019m thinking of trying pears and ginger next. I haven\u2019t tested that combination yet, but I\u2019m so curious to see how it turns out.<\/p>\n

So, in short, customize the batter with your favorite flavors and combinations. The sky is the limit!<\/p>\n
