Muffins are the quickest of quick breads. Select one of our muffin recipes and whip up a batch in the oven while sipping your coffee and they'll be ready by your second cup. You can also make them ahead—they'll stay fresh in an airtight container for a few days (but do taste the best the day of). To get a jump-start, mix the wet and dry ingredients the night before, then toss everything together and bake them in the morning.
Whether you usually reach for blueberry, bran, banana, or chocolate chip—or you want to try a savory muffin, a better-for-you treat, or a gluten-free option—you'll find plenty of delicious muffin recipes to make at home in our collection.

Double-Chocolate Muffins
They look and taste decadent, but these muffins are actually a better-for-you treat. They're made with avocado; it replaces some of the oil in the recipe and adds healthy fat. Using whole-wheat flour means extra fiber and makes the muffins more filling.

Breakfast Egg-and-Cheese Muffins
Muffins are the original grab-and-go breakfast, and this one cleverly packs enough protein and flavor to keep you sated through lunch. Inspired by the Rebel Within at San Francisco bakery Craftsman and Wolves, this muffin can be prepped the night before: Fry up the sausage, grate the cheese, and boil the eggs until the whites are firm (the yolks will finish cooking inside the muffins). The next day, combine and divide everything into tins and put them in a preheated oven 30 minutes before you need to head out the door.
