I’m originally from Louisville where we have a breakfast and brunch restaurant called Wild Eggs. The food there is delicious, but the real reason I go there is for the everything muffins. They are salty-sweet baked gloriousness. It’s a little bit sweet and a little bit savory and every bit insanely good. Now that I don’t live in Louisville, I had to figure out how I could have these anytime I wanted. So I did just that. These Everything Muffins are everything!
Ingredients
These muffins use flour, sugar, baking powder, butter, eggs, and milk. And then to make them the absolute best muffins, we add everything seasoning to the batter.
You can find everything seasoning almost anywhere now. I always thought I had to go to Trader Joes, but I was able to find a huge container at my local grocery store. And I’m willing to bet you could probably even find a recipe to create it yourself if needed. Once you try this seasoning, you’ll never go back. I put it on everything – veggies, avocado toast, potatoes, salads, sandwiches – you really can’t go wrong with this seasoning. So however you need to get your hands on this seasoning, do it, because these Everything Muffins are well worth it.
How to Make Everything Muffins
Everything Muffins can be made in just one bowl in a matter of minutes! They are so simple and so delicious! In a mixing bowl you’ll combine all your dry ingredients till evenly mixed. You’ll push the dry ingredients out to the edges to form a hole in the middle. Fill the hole with the wet ingredients, and then mix till a batter is formed and the dry ingredients are well incorporated. Pour into muffin cups and bake. How simple is that?
How to store Everything Muffins
These can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
What makes muffins rise?
The baking powder in this recipe is the key ingredient to make them rise.
What if I don't have milk for muffins?
You can use any milk substitute - cream, half and half, almond milk, flax milk, soy milk, oat milk, whatever you like! I have a great substitutions guide that gives you alternatives for ingredients you may not have on hand. They should work for most standard recipes, but as always with baking, not everything can be substituted! In the case of these muffins, any milk substitute should work. You can get my substitutions guide for free here!
What does Everything Bagel Seasoning taste like?
It tastes exactly like an everything bagel! It has a saltiness, with poppy seeds and sesame seeds, and is my absolute favorite flavor! The most well-known brand is the Trader Joes brand, which is called Everything But The Bagel Seasoning, but many spice brands now make this seasoning, generally called Everything Seasoning or Everything Bagel Seasoning.

It's a pretty good recreation of the muffins. The only thing I would change is the sugar content. This seems too sweet. Maybe only half a cup would be best.
I used a mix of half heavy cream and half whole milk but I don't know if it really added anything. I know that my mixture was a lot dryer, like a wet bread dough, when I filled the molds than the pictures but they came out great.
I only baked it at 350 for 25 minutes because my oven is different.

I'm so glad they worked out for you, Ray! Thanks for sharing your suggestions!
Lin Thomas says
I just made a double batch of these (using jumbo muffin tins) for a post-Derby brunch. Thank you, Liz, this recipe is perfect! Everyone loved these muffins!
Liz says
I'm so so happy to hear that, Lin! I hope you had a happy Derby and I'm so very glad you enjoyed!!
Adina says
These are amazing little muffins. I made them as teacher gifts with the note “thank you for everything!” So easy and delicious.
Liz says
I love this idea!! They really do make such great gifts!
Hannah says
These were pretty good. Mine looked different than the pictures. I only used half a cup of sugar because I thought 3/4 would be too sweet. My mixture looked more like biscuit/scone dough than muffin mixture, and they turned out to have the texture of scones as well. I think I would add more milk next time. I also used the trader Joe's bagel seasoning and it's really heavy on the salt and onion powder so I also felt like I should have cut back on that. It would be great to have a version with homemade seasoning to have greater control over the flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
Liz says
I'm so glad you tried them, but I'm sorry you had some issues with them! Unfortunately, I think both issues are due to the reduction in sugar. Sugar serves more purposes than just sweetening in baked goods, including helping baked goods retain their moisture so that could be why they came out a bit drier. Sweetness also balances out saltiness and that balance will be off if the sugar is reduced, resulting in a saltier muffin. These are intended to have a slight sweetness to them, so if you're looking for muffins that aren't sweet, the recipe will most likely need adjustments beyond just the sugar. I hope this helps, and I hope you'll try this recipe again! And thank you for the great suggestion of a homemade seasoning. I will see what I can come up with!
