It's National Muffin Day

Today is National Muffin Day! It is probably the only day we would post muffins instead of cupcakes on Cupcakes Take The Cake. 


From Foodimentary, here are some fun facts about muffins.

• The word Muffin likely derives its name from the an Old German word Muffen, the plural of Muffe meaning a small cake. 
• Muffins come in both savory varieties, such as corn or cheese muffins, or sweet varieties such as blueberry or banana.
• American muffins are similar to a cupcake in size and cooking methods, the difference, cupcakes almost always are made with cake batter.
