    Today I’m sharing a very dear recipe that I started making when I was still living in Ukraine and I was only about 10 years old. It is still our family favorite tea or coffee muffins. These Mini Golden Buttermilk Muffins become a quick favorite to those who try them as well. 

    Today I’m sharing a very dear recipe that I started making when I was still living in Ukraine and I was only about 10 years old. It is still our family favorite tea or coffee muffins. These Mini Golden Buttermilk Muffins become a quick favorite to those who try them as well.

    These mini Goldie’s are not the same as traditional American store-bought muffins. That’s what my family loves about them. If anyone has a homemade version, I'd be happy to try it out as a contender.

    These muffins go with any occasion and even are a great addition to a wedding or any dessert plate. You may use any dried fruit for these muffins. 

    Just because of its size and portion kids really love these muffins, and nothing goes to waste. They enjoy every crumb of it. I hope these muffins become your family favorite as well. 

    Mini Golden Buttermilk Muffins Ingredients

    Golden Raisins - You may use any dried fruit of your choice.

    Eggs - I used home eggs. You can use 5 large eggs instead of 6 medium (we have young chickens and they lay smaller eggs).

    Sugar - White granulate sugar is ok to use, but I used organic.

    Buttermilk - Kefir or whey is fine to use in this recipe. If using whey you will need a bit more flour, but you get same great taste.

    Butter - Has to be cooled before use.

    Vanilla, Baking soda, distilled vinegar

    Powdered sugar - Optional, but I don't skip drenching with powdered sugar, I like the look and the taste.

    Remove from the oven and cool muffins for 5 minutes before removing them from the molds. Let muffins cool to warm before drenching with powdered sugar. 

    Fill a gallon size Ziploc bag with warm muffins, about ¾ full, add 2 tbsp of powdered sugar., close the bag and shake, shake those muffins in the bag until they are all coated with powdered sugar. 

    Place them onto cooling rack to cool completely. 

    How to Store Muffins

    Store cooled muffins in a container of your choice with the lid cracked open, otherwise powdered sugar will melt and will make the muffins wet (which is another way I like them, too).

      I made this recipe second time already but today I decided to just turn it into a bunt cake so save myself some time. I had to adjust the oven temperature and bake time but it turned out as delicious! Totally recommend!

      Oh these look so yummy! I wanted to make these for our upcoming big family camp and wanted to know how long in advance could these be made? (If you happen to know 😉)
      Thank you!

        I have made them one week in advance many times. Once they've cooled place them into a gallon Ziploc bag and freeze (just don't coat the muffins with powdered sugar). Then before leaving to camp pack them frozen. Before serving add powdered sugar into the gallon bag, shake the muffins until they are well coated, and serve. It's that easy! Everyone absolutely loves them so much! I hope that was helpful 😉
