9 magnificent muffin recipes

Everyone should have a great cornmeal muffin recipe in their back pocket. Why? Because it’s a bit of a flavour chameleon—it can be savoury or sweet depending on how you feel. Dunk it in chili or slather it with a thick schmear of butter and jam. Or do both! Get the recipe from Chatelaine: Ultimate Cornmeal Muffins 

OK, bran muffins aren’t the most exciting of the lot (because: fiber). Nevertheless, they’re a mighty fine way to start the day, and make an excellent vehicle for fruit. Get the recipe from Chatelaine: Bran Muffins

Get over here and look at these muffins! Studded with chocolate chips and bits of coarse sugar, you may never have to buy a coffee shop muffin again. Oh, and they come together in just 30 minutes. Get the recipe from Chatelaine: Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Muffins

You read that right: These are carrot cake muffins. Muffin trumps cake, therefore totally appropriate for breakfast. Good morning indeed! Get the recipe from Chatelaine: Streusel-Crunch Spiced Carrot Cake Muffins

These muffins are such showoffs. They’ve got whole wheat flour for nuttiness, plain yogurt for a moist crumb, sweet pops of blueberries and two kinds of ginger—freshly grated and candied—for zip! Get the recipe: Blueberry-Ginger Muffins

These are cleverly disguised bran muffins. Buttermilk keeps them moist, chunks of peach give that perfect bit of squish and pecans even it out with a hit of crunch. Get the recipe: Peaches and Honey Muffins

No dry, crumbly muffins allowed. Grated zucchini adds tons of moisture (and nutrition) while cocoa and chocolate chips keep these muffins feeling totally indulgent. Get the recipe from Chatelaine: Chocolate-Zucchini Muffins
