What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?

Muffins tend to be less sweat compared to a cupcake. Cupcakes are simply mini cakes whereas muffins are made with healthier flour and ingredients. Cupcakes are tender and rich because they are mostly made with eggs and butter. On the other hand, a muffin, like this Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins is denser and less rich which makes them a much healthier treat. Muffins can be savory instead of sweet and you can pretty much have daily whereas a cupcake is more of a dessert you have on occasions.

    Hi Rena,
    Thanks for sharing. Can I use honey in place of the stevia and ground oatmeal in place of whole wheat flour? Thanks.

    Hi
    I am making your banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins right now and noticed a couple of omissions it should be corrected:

    – instructions say whisk in egg , yet no egg is listed on ingredients
    – when mixing the dry ingredients together, oats are omitted

    Big time at 400°, yet they are very well done, brown on top. Are used muffin papers in a metal nonstick tin. Any suggestions?

    I made your Slow Cooker southwest turkey chili- it was a hit!

    I Instagram-thank you so much !

      Hi, Thank you! So sorry I did forget to add the egg in the ingredients I fixed it! Yes, you would have to use a nonstick pan. It was ok in my oven at 400 degrees but if it was too brown on your end test if it’s done at 15 minutes or lower temp at 350.
      I am so glad you liked the chicken chili
