Quick Breads & BreakfastNote that instructions for generating cupcakes from cake recipes are documented in the Cakes section. Some thoughts on the intersection of quick breads and breakfast: Signe: My personal opinion is that muffins are breakfast food, so if you eat something for breakfast, it's a muffin. If you put frosting on it, it's a cupcake. I tend to think of paper liners as a cupcake phenomenon, since the muffins I made when I was young were for home consumption and didn't involve liners, while the cupcakes I made were for other people and therefore involved liners. Chocolate chip cupcakes are sold right alongside blueberry and bran muffins on the west coast, and they're all called "muffin" (probably because their customers want a chocolate chip one, but want to think they're eating something a little healthier than cake). Blueberry muffins are significantly improved by nutmeg frosting, but are still muffins. Call them whatever you like and eat them whenever you want. I'm merging quick breads and breakfast. |
