National Muffin Day
National Muffin Day, on February 20th, is a popular celebration that includes flavor and options.
Bakeries in various sizes are available for these single-serving quick breads. They also have a variety of nutritional value, from mini bite-sized muffins and jumbo ones to the coveted muffin tops. A muffin can be high in fat and calories depending on the ingredients. However, substituting whole grains, changing a few other ingredients, and limiting the serving size will all improve a muffin's nutritional quality.
Baking with fresh fruits and berries adds a pop of color to muffins. It also prevents them from becoming dry as they bake. The blueberry muffin is one of America's most popular muffins. Mixing in nuts and oats is another way to add flavor and texture. Bakers often have bits of chocolate and bananas that must be used. Your muffin eaters will be happy in the morning, too, if mixing them into the muffin batter.

Muffin FAQ
Q. Why are my muffins so hard?
A. Tough muffins are often the result of an overmixed batter. You should mix the batter until the ingredients are fully incorporated. It may be a little lumpy, but that's ok.
Q. Why are my muffins flat?
A. Mixing your ingredients is perhaps the most important part of muffin making – and baking in particular. Mix the dry ingredients together first. This evenly distributes the dry ingredients, especially seasonings and leavening agents (the ingredients that make the muffin rise). Mix your wet ingredients and then blend the two mixes together. Another reason your muffins are flat may be due to an expired leavening agent. If you use baking soda, baking powder, or yeast, they will lose their potency and fail to rise to the occasion.
