Muffins and quick breads are delightful baked goods that are characterized by their easy preparation and delightful flavors. Unlike traditional yeast breads that require time to rise, muffins and quick breads use baking powder or baking soda as leavening agents, allowing them to be mixed and baked quickly. They come in a variety of flavors, from sweet fruit and nut combinations to savory herb-infused varieties. Muffins are typically single-serving and have a tender crumb, making them perfect for breakfast or snacks, while quick breads are often baked in a loaf pan and can be sliced for sharing. Both are versatile, allowing for endless variations and the incorporation of seasonal ingredients.
