Muffins and Quick Breads

Here is where you’ll find all my muffin and quick bread recipes on the site.

You may be wondering why I group them together. The reason is that muffins and quick breads are pretty much the same thing.

Both are made usingย The Muffin Method. So the only fundamental difference between the two is this:

Muffins (try my jumbo blackberry muffins or Ritz Carlton blueberry muffins) are baked in muffin tins and quick breads (try peach breakfast cake or blueberry buckle) are baked in loaf pansย orย cake pans.

Seriously, that’s it.

Add pancakes to the list too, because they are made using the same method. So technically, pancakes and waffles are quick breads baked free form on a griddle (like myย pancakes for one) or baked in an iron (waffles).
