Plain Muffin

Plain Muffin

EverydayCooked

A plain muffin is a single-serving baked good characterized by its domed top and tender, cake-like crumb. Made with a base of flour, sugar, eggs, and fat (typically oil or butter), it offers a subtly sweet flavor and moist texture distinct from sweeter, frosted cupcakes. While often enjoyed as a breakfast item, its neutral profile makes it adaptable to both sweet and savory additions like berries, nuts, or cheese. Commercial versions frequently contain refined carbohydrates and moderate fat content, with common allergens including gluten, dairy, and eggs.
