Muffins are delightful, portable baked goods that bring comfort and variety to breakfasts and snacks. These individual-sized treats are wonderful in an array of flavors, from classic blueberry to decadent chocolate chip or savory options like cornbread. The soft and moist texture of a well-made muffin is achieved through a simple batter of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, often leavened with baking powder or baking soda. Muffins can be adorned with a crumbly streusel topping, a sweet glaze, or left beautifully plain. With their versatility and convenient single-serving portions, muffins have become a beloved go-to for a quick and satisfying dose of baked goodness. Whether enjoyed warm from the oven or as an on-the-go snack, muffins add a touch of sweetness to any moment.
