SnackShots #3: Muffin

Switch on your cookers, set up your mixers and slide on your oven mitts; we’re baking this month at SnackShots! The beauty of the humble muffin is that it’s so versatile and almost any ingredient is agreeable with the baked bun; from pumpkin and fresh fruit to chocolate chips. It’s a very creative theme this month, so let your imagination run wild. Small muffins, big muffins, dark muffins, light muffins, healthy muffins, decadent muffins, gluten-free muffins, anything goes!

What’s the difference between a muffin and cupcake? A muffin contains less sugar and doesn’t have icing on top, in other words it’s healthier. Looking for inspiration? Click here and here .

You don’t necessarily need to bake the muffin yourself. Maybe you discovered a glorious muffin at your local bakery or you just can’t get enough of a Starbucks muffin and would like to share it with the world.

If you have an undying love for muffins, write about it. Just maybe you’ll win the Word4Word writing award.
