Simple muffins with kefir
Description
Homemade treats for tea. Minimal effort and readily available ingredients — and you'll have light and fluffy kefir cupcakes on your table! You can prepare them with additions such as cottage cheese, raisins, dried apricots, citrus zest, or even nuts. Of course, this type of baking (even made with low-fat kefir) is considered calorie-dense due to its significant content of carbohydrates and fats, but it's okay to indulge occasionally. This cupcake recipe has hardly changed since the 16th century, when cupcakes were immensely popular, and the history of this confectionery delight dates back to Ancient Roman times. Serve with tea or coffee.

6. At the very end, add orange zest, which will give our muffins a special piquancy. But this is entirely optional. You can also add some raisins, which go perfectly with muffins (don't forget to soak them for about 20 minutes before adding to the batter).

7. Now place our cupcakes into baking molds. It's important to fill the molds only about 2/3 full, not completely, because the batter will rise during baking.
