JMK,

Perhaps instead of reducing recipe size, find a base recipe for the muffins,
and then play mix and match with the ingredients. If your base recipe is
for a dozen muffins, whip it up, divide into quarters, and then add the
ingredients you're interested in.

A quick review of recipesource shws most muffin recipes operating off a
fairly consistent base of dry ingredients, liquids coming from various
sources depending on the desired taste, etc. There's even a "Triple Muffin
Mix" with instructions for the dry base and three "add ons" to make the
desired muffin.

You'll create a bit more mess in a single go using muliple bowls, but no
more than you would making the reduced recipe multiple times.
