The 13 Best Muffin Recipes of all Time

Let’s be honest here. Muffins are just a way to get more butter into our bodies. We can’t just sit around eating spoonfuls of butter without looking like lunatics. But, smear that butter on a muffin? Totally acceptable!

I love a GOOD muffin. I make muffins at least once a week for breakfast and sometimes more often so that I can offer them as snacks to the kids. If you follow me on Instagram, you know that they top my baking list and show up often. I like to use Trina Holden’s hashtag #buttervehicle as much as humanly possible.

Notice my emphasis on GOOD. Nasty muffins are just…nasty. Not even worth the butter you might waste on them. Boycott nasty muffins!

What makes a nasty muffin?

  • Dry
  • No butter
  • Dry
  • No butter

That about sums it up.

Also, making muffins is much more enjoyable when you use a USA Muffin Pan. Because the muffins don’t stick. Ever. DON’T STICK, I SAID!

So, since I make a ton of muffins, you’d think I would know the bestest ones to make, wouldn’t you? Well, my dear…you’re right! I consider myself a muffin connoisseur. Don’t you love it when you’re right?

Behold! My list of favorite muffins. You’re welcome.

Also, please note – all muffins should be consumed with slabs of butter. Otherwise, you’re doing them a grand disservice. Amen.

  2. Better Bran Muffins from ME – Bran muffins are my favorite muffin of all time. I have two favorite recipes. This is one of them. No cereal required!
  3. Basic Muffin Recipe from The red Bread Beckers Cookbook – Basically the best bread cookbook of all time. This recipe is easily adaptable.

    Thanks for the recommendation for a muffin pan. I need to replace mine, I am NOT paying $70 for a Pampered Chef one, non-stick ones DO!

        Hello! I just got my USA Pans in the mail!!! HOORAY! Kohl’s cash (given to me) + 20% off + saved Christmas money + you telling me I HAD to get some = AWESOME! Question: do you stack your different pieces, or put something in-between to protect them? I’ve never had nice pans…just a bunch of junky ones. *grin* Thanks! -Joy

    Our favorite muffin recipe is my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip. (It’s not the one floating around the web that uses a cake mix!) I found it somewhere online 18ish years ago & have modified it over the years to make it healthier. My family would eat them every day if possible, lol!
