Search Results - Muffin

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

A muffin is a type of bread that is baked in small portions. Many forms are somewhat like small cakes or cupcakes in shape, although they usually are not as sweet as cupcakes and generally lack frosting. Savory varieties, such as cornbread muffins, also exist. They generally fit in the palm of an adult hand, and are intended to be consumed by an individual in a single sitting.

There are many varieties and flavors of muffins made with a specific ingredient such as blueberries, chocolate chips, cucumbers, raspberry, cinnamon, pumpkin, date nut, lemon, banana, orange, peach, strawberry, boysenberry, almond, and carrot. These ingredients are then baked into the muffin. Muffins are often eaten for breakfast; alternatively, they may be served for tea or at other meals.

The word "muffin" was first registered in English in 1703 as "moofin", possibly derived from the Old French moufflet, which meant "soft" in reference to bread, or from the Low German muffen, meaning "small cakes".[1] Muffins may indeed have started out as a form of small cake, or possibly an adaptation of cornbread. Early versions of these muffins tend to be less sweet and much less varied in ingredients than their contemporary form. Made quickly and easily, they were useful as a breakfast food. They also rapidly grew stale, which prevented them from being a marketable baked good, and they were not seen much outside home kitchens until the mid-20th century. Recipes tended to be limited to different grains (corn, wheat, bran, or oatmeal) and a few readily available additives (raisins, apples in some form, or nuts). Fannie Merritt Farmer listed 15 recipes of this type in her Boston Cooking-School Cook Book of 1896, of which there were two each of "one-egg," "berry," oat, graham flour, and rye; one with cornmeal, one with cooked rice, and the remaining three slightly enriched versions of the plain "one-egg" muffin.[2]

Farmer used the term gem for her corn recipe, which was a muffin baked in a pan of lozenge shapes rather than circular cups. With the invention of circular muffin paper cups, hard-to-clean iron gem pans lost popularity, and are rarely used today, although corn muffins baked in the form of ears of corn remain a tradition. The development of non-stick pans has allowed the production of very elaborate muffin shapes (animals, holiday motifs, etc.), but the circular muffin remains the norm.

2. The Latest On Spot Reducing
August 26, 2008

Let’s be honest, we all have that one (okay) two spots we’d like to lose while the rest is pretty much okay. Maybe it's the infamous muffin top, lunch lady arms or thunderous thighs. The fact is billions of dollars have been spent on such remedies as: gels, wraps, abdominal blasters, pills, potions, etc. only to find that they don’t work. Still, some people think, if it’s on T.V. it must be real, there goes more $$$. Savvy exercise enthusiast and trainers are well aware of the error in this line of reasoning.

4. Lifting Weights To Lose Weight - Err, burn the fat
July 13, 2008

Sounds like an oxymoron, but it’s true. I often hear people saying they are afraid to lift weights because they don’t want to gain weight or look bigger. The error is in their perception, they couldn’t be father from the truth and here’s why… Generally when we say we want to lose weight what we really mean is we want to lose fat, the loose fleshy stuff hanging from arms and thighs or spilling over into a muffin top. Be honest can you pinch some? If not, why read on you’re already a god or goddess. For everyone else, that doughy stuff between your fingers are the glad bags of the body. Tha... (read more)

5. Breakfast food -Eggs Benedict
July 02, 2008

Eggs Benedict is a much loved breakfast food. It is made by toasting a whole English muffin then topping that with ham, Canadian bacon, or bacon as well as poached eggs. The whole thing is then drowned in hollandaise sauce. Much like many popular foods, the origins of Eggs Benedict are unknown. In one account, retired Wall Street stock broker Lemuel Benedict wandered into the Waldorf Hotel in 1894 and requested "buttered toast, poached eggs, crisp bacon, and a hooker of hollandaise" in an attempt to find a cure for his morning hangover. The maître d'hôtel Oscar Tshirky, the legendary Oscar of... (read more)

June 26, 2008

I don't know anyone who wouldn't like a flat stomach, but like the majority of my family and friends (myself included) my muffin top stomach was taking over. With the advice of a great nutritionist and equally great advice from a Certified Physical Fitness Trainer, I have taken control of my body and have decreased my waistline as well. The secret and really it is no secret at all is eating the right foods. And surprisingly enough, the right foods are mono-unsaturated fatty acids or as I described in the title of this article MUFA.

December 11, 2007

A delightful rest at the Lunenburg Inn after a very compressed and hectic day along the Lighthouse Trail yesterday got me ready for another day of adventures.

This is my special blueberry muffin recipe that I created over 30 years ago and I like it so much that I have never stopped using it, it has a magnificent flavor and a wonderful texture, the freshness life of this muffin is about 4days but if frozen it will last for months.

OK, her... (read more)
