Muffins are pieces of bread that are baked in small sizes and their name refers to this fact. There are two types of muffins, English and American. The American muffin is actually a small quick bread that is baked like a cupcake in a muffin tray with paper cases. I’ve rounded up my favorite muffin recipes for you to try. Soft, tender, and sweet muffin recipes you can’t get enough of…
Muffin Recipes VS Cupcake Recipes
As mentioned, cupcakes are actually mini cakes and muffins are small bread-like eats. Let’s see what are the differences between these two in texture, appearance, and taste:
- The amount of sugar, fat (butter or oil), and eggs in cupcake recipes is more than muffin recipes, and in general, muffins are less sweet and healthier.
- The muffin is baked at a higher temperature than the cupcake, and as a result, it is dry and cracked on the surface.
- In the process of baking cupcakes, techniques such as creaming or beating egg whites are used, and just like cakes, flour is gently added to the ingredients, which as a result of using these techniques, the texture of cupcakes becomes soft and spongy. But in the preparation of muffins, dry ingredients and wet ingredients are mixed together and added at the end, which results in a denser and drier texture.
- Muffins are often served simply or eventually with some kind of icing or filling. But cupcakes are topped with icing or frosting.
- Cupcakes are rather flat on top, unlike the muffins. This is due to the higher temperature of baking and the ratio of ingredients.
