Preparation, uses and tips

Serve warm, whole-grain, low-fat muffins with fruit and yogurt, or soy milk, for a fast breakfast.

Varieties

Muffins come in a nearly endless variety of flavors—usually sweet, but sometimes tart—and may contain nuts, seeds, fruit, chocolate, spices, and other ingredients. Among the most popular flavors are bran, blueberry, and corn. They’re available in low-fat, fat-free, whole-grain, wheat-free, and dairy-free versions.
