Our Best Ideas for Muffins

You can make them sweet or savory, fill them with fruit or load them up with chocolate chips. You can even top them with frosting or crunchy trail mix. Whatever you decide, they're the breakast staple that's guaranteed to please—especially when you whip up a classic like blueberry muffins. Ina's version are fluffy, delicious and ready to eat in less than 40 minutes. Best of all, they're made with sour cream which keeps the muffins really soft and moist.

Trail Mix Banana Bread Muffins

Instead of folding chopped nuts into your banana bread, try trail mix. In this mashup recipe, we combine two of our school-year favorites into one irresistible treat. Plain trail mix works well here, but we love those that include dried banana chips, rainbow chocolate candies or soft coconut flakes.

Pumpkin Muffins

The word pumpkin probably transports you to fall, from the first PSL of the season to the glowing Halloween decoration on your stoop. But the great news about pumpkin muffins is they’re a warm and comforting breakfast staple all year round! A can of pumpkin puree gets mixed into the batter for soft, tender muffins that stay moist for days. And inside each muffin is a swirl of aromatic pumpkin spice mix that you can make straight from the pantry. No matter the time of year, these are a burst of cozy in every bite!
