I like bread and soup for dinner in the winter, and homemade muffins are often a nice option since they can bake up quickly while the soup simmers on the stovetop. These muffins are a nice contrast to heavier, earthy soups. The tomato sauce in the batter keeps them tender with a slight tang and also gives them a lovely golden color.
These muffins come together without any trouble, a quick counterpoint to earthy soups. Their rich, buttery flavor is balanced by a light sweetness and the hint of sharpness from the bright green scallions.
