A muffin is a kind of small, individual baked good. It commonly is sweet quickbread or cake formed in a cup-shaped container. You can call it according to extra ingredients, for instance “blueberry muffin” Although American style muffins usually are sweetened, there are also savory types with various additions.
You consider them nearer to bread than to cake, so they should have much less sugar.
How to Bake Muffins
The usual proportion for muffins and quickbreads are 2:2:1:1, so two parts flour to two parts liquid, one part fat and one part eggs. Simple basic recipe gives high, bakery style muffins with anything added. The mass mingles quickly and simply, resulting in wet, fluffy and rihc flavored results.
Those instructions work for average, little or giant muffin tins.
Adding half a cup of berries in the mass makes truly moist muffins, that stay fresh longer. Oatmeal muffins use instead of two cups flour one cup rolled oats and one and quarter cup flour. Brown sugar instead of white gives more robust taste.
Buttermilk muffins come out berry-streaked with sugar, together with rich flavor and cream texture.
Bran muffins receive their typical bran flavor from wheat bran, that you mix with hot water to avoid that it absorbs the moisture of the other ingredients. A better breakfast muffin can have bran, molasses or honey, maybe raisins, dates or fig pieces, something alike to granola type.
Combinations of tastes do not have an end. Caramel apple muffins have pieces and salted caramel chips. Peaches with cream mix chopped peaches with white chocolate or yogurt chips.
Raspberry cheesecake muffins base on cream cheese with crushed raspberries. Toss blueberries in flour before blending helps to prevent their sinking or bleeding in the mass.
Muffin tin is useful also for other things than only muffins. Bigger cups work well with extra big tortillas for burrito bites. Loaded baked potatoes covered with cheese and chives can cook in muffin tin for maximum covering and minimal cleaning.
Store muffins commonly are high, full, fluffy and airy with perfect upper image. Home reach that requires practice. Little gluten amounts help to preserve the structure, so gluten free mix not always replaces flour.
About nutritional value, cookie probably has less calories than muffin, unless it is huge and dense.
