Do you know the differences between a muffin and a cupcake? Technically speaking, a cupcake is sweeter than a muffin and uses butter and eggs as major ingredients. Cupcakes are also often made with candy. Muffins, on the other hand, are generally not as sweet as cupcakes and are made with healthier ingredients, such as wheat flour and fruit. Also, muffins are usually denser and drier than cupcakes. Given the healthier nature of muffins, next time you want to enjoy a cupcake, try a muffin instead. This article contains delicious and healthy muffin recipes that anyone will enjoy.
