Im going to be honest with you: these muffins are borderline cupcakes.
When I first started baking, I couldnt really figure out what the difference was. I knew one was technically a cake and the other was something Id eat for breakfast. So, I researched. I found out pretty quickly that for starters their crumb is totally different. A cake has a teenier crumb and, well, tastes like cake and is topped with loads of frosting (as it should be). While a muffin is a quick bread with a much denser, larger crumb. I think thats when I really became interested in all things baking. I felt like for the first time I understood baking.
Anyway, so this is definitely a muffin in texture and crumb. But in flavorits almost close to a cupcake. So, I say make this one the weekends when breakfast is supposed to be more fun and less healthy.
I love the tart rhubarb with the sweet white chocolate chips. And the muffin almost tastes like it has cornbread in it but it doesnt.
If youre in the mood for a more healthy-ish option, add some flax or bran to this muffin! It would be delicious.
