An oft asked question to any baker is...what is the difference between a cupcake and a muffin?? They look the same...right?!! Well! not everything that looks same is actually same! Technically speaking, a muffin is a cousin of quick breads...and a cupcake is the cousin of cake. If you look at their crumbs, muffin has coarse texture, unlike the fine smooth crumbs of a cupcake. Their processing is also different. Muffins use the "wet-dry ingredients" method of mixing...cupcakes rely on creaming method. Taste-wise, muffins are drier than cupcakes and definitely need Jam, butter, juice or milk alongwith. Cupcakes are buttery treats...screaming occasional indulgence. But whether it is a muffin or a cupcake...it is loved by one and all. Seriously! who can say no to them.
These blueberry muffins are made with Wholewheat and oats flour (no All-purpose flour) and sweetened with Honey instead of Sugar...wholesome and nutritious, with a lot of fibre punch from oats!!
