FAQ
What are the most popular muffins?
The Kitchn says blueberry muffins, banana chocolate chip muffins, strawberry orange muffins, sour cherry chocolate chunk muffins, and loaded savory breakfast muffins are their most popular ones. These all sound delicious!
What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?
The biggest differences are that cupcakes are often frosted, and muffin tops are usually bigger than cupcakes. Remember that Seinfeld episode? Muffin tops are the best!
How do I make my muffins light and fluffy?
Use baking powder and baking soda. These are both leaveners (meaning that they make baked goods rise). Also don't over-mix your batter, over-mixing it can make your muffins tough and not light or fluffy.
What can I make with leftover ingredients?
- (blueberries) Blueberry Tea Smoothie
- (chocolate chips) Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (AKA the best cookies ever), Homemade Hot Chocolate Mix
- (Greek yogurt) Protein Packed Chocolate Pudding, PB Greek Yogurt Dip, or Overnight Oats with Yogurt
