MUFFINS
These small, cake-like quick breads are yeast-free and leavened with baking soda or baking powder. They gained near-universal acclaim in the early 1980s as a “healthy” breakfast, but beware: many muffins may have more than 500 calories and 16 grams of fat.
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.
Preparation, uses and tips
Serve warm, whole-grain, low-fat muffins with fruit and yogurt, or soy milk, for a fast breakfast.
