Weekend Muffin Baking Recipes

Published about 6 hours ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader!

Muffins are my weekend secret weapon! Once they’re baked, snack time is sorted for days. I usually whip up a double batch, tuck most of them into the freezer, and take out one or two whenever I need a quick snack or grab-and-go breakfast.

  1. Pumpkin Spice Latte Muffins - All the flavors of your favorite fall drink.
  2. ​Apple Spice Muffins - Reader review: "Love these muffins! Made them over the weekend and they are absolutely fabulous." ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
  3. ​Banana Blueberry Muffins - I make a double batch of these muffins every couple of weeks and store them in the freezer.
  4. ​Peanut Butter & Jelly Muffins - A dollop of jelly is hidden in the middle!
  5. ​Chocolate Chunk Banana Muffins - Reader review: "OMG, these are good! I'm embarrassed to say that we ate all of them in less than 48 hours." 😍
