Muffin Monday Recap

There are 52 Mondays in a year (sometimes 53). Not that I make muffins every single Monday although I'm feeling the pressure but that's a lot of muffin variations. To me, the standard muffins are blueberry, poppyseed and those delicious cinnamon coffee cake ones at Dunkin Donuts. Woah. Serious deliciousness.

If we take a step back, there are distinct categories of muffins. We've got:

Classics

• Berry- blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, mixed berry, the combinations aren't endless but you can't beat a good blueberry muffin.

 

• Poppyseed- my personal favorite because lemon! But orange was pretty tasty too.

 

• Banana- A surprising crowd pleaser! I though banana bread would trump every other banana variety but banana walnut was the most complimented!

Almost a Cupcake

• Chocolate- chocolate for breakfast?! Yes please. 

• Pumpkin- just add Nutella. Still a muffin, really close to a cupcake. 

 

Crunchy/Healthy

• Vegetables- sneak your vegetables wherever you can, even if it's in a muffin!

 

• Oats- basically baked oatmeal in a handy muffin shape

So far, the classics have been the most popular but I'm looking to expand. I've starting getting requests including another pumpkin variation and then I would like to go for some more oatmeal-inspired ones.
