Kababayan (Filipino Muffins)


Note: I myself have not tried this recipe. I did not like it even when I was still a child growing up selling these in our tindahan/bakery, because I did not like the consistency. There was nothing special I found in it, but there were customers who continued to buy and eat them for some reason. So, for the sake of those who might be missing these and are interested to try and to see whether it was the same kababayan you used to like back in the Philippines, I am posting it here, as shared by a fb friend. Please be forewarned that there were those who tried this recipe and commented below, with poor feedback. I do not know when I will try this recipe. For those who have tried and did not like this, I hope you will experiment and troubleshoot what could be missing, and share your own corrected recipe. Thanks!

  4. Hi Olive,
    I myself is not a big fan of kababayan. But there have been requests to feature this recipe. So when my friend posted a photo, I immediately asked her for the recipe and for her permission to post. Glad she agreed!

    Joy,

  14. Hi Lisa!
    Nope! I think it is the condensed milk that gives it the flavor.

  16. Hi Manang,

    I've just tried making kababayan based on the recipe you shared and it didn't come out nice. In fact it was horrible. Sorry but I think your friend didn't share the proper recipe with you. I should have realized that since you hadn't tried this recipe yourself, it was dubious. I did have my doubts about the absence of the eggs but I still gave it the benefit of trying it out. I'm very distrustful of recipes posted online especially when I don't know who posted them. Anyway, lessons learned. This recipe is not worth trying. Trust me.

  17. Hi Lisa,
    Now your comment makes me wanna see for myself how it turns out. Although if this was the kababayan recipe that's like the one that my Tatay's bakery used to make, I was not really a big fan of those...something about the consistency just did not excite me enough, and to me, it was also "horrible" hence I never had the gumption to even try this recipe. I just posted for the sake of those whose taste buds finds preference for such muffins. When I do find more time (maybe after DHHS is done messing up my family life), I will...
    Sorry to hear that you wasted your time/effort/ingredients on this one...

  19. I totally agree with Lisa. I tried it before and it was one of the worst recipe I ever tried online my kids didn't like it at all. Don't waste your time and money trying this recipe you will definately regret it.

  20. dear manang,

    first of all, i want to thank you for sharing wonderful recipes. in fact one cupcake recipe was a hit and we are selling it to schools as well as in the neighboring offices.

    just now, i tried the kababayan recipe and is totally dismayed with the results. i agree with lisa that the absence of eggs makes the whole recipe dubious. in fact while i was pouring batter on the pans, i asked my husband to recite all the ingredients becoz i had this nagging feeling that something's amiss.

    it was indeed a disaster. i thought i made a mistake in the quantities but my greatest mistake afterall was not reading all the comments until the end. had i seen lisa's comment, it would have changed my mind perhaps...

    still, i am very thankful becoz you are magnanimous with your knowledge and skills. God bless you and your family.

  21. Dear anonymous,
    I am sorry I thought I answered your comment already.
    Thank you for your kind words. Maybe I should just edit this post to warn readers.
    That makes me not want to waste ingredients on this. Or maybe I can experiment and see if I can come up with a better version, one that I myself will like...
