What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?

   Though it may be hard to pinpoint the difference between a cupcake and muffin, The most obvious visual difference between cupcakes and muffins is, of course, the frosting. Cupcakes are topped with creamy, delicious frosting. Instead, muffins may have a sugared top or a very thin glaze.

   The mixing process and the consistency of the batter differentiate cake and muffin. Cupcakes are made by creaming the butter and sugar together to create a smooth, fluffy batter. Muffin batter, on the other hand, is beaten briefly and remains relatively lumpy. This makes for a more dense baked good.

Can baby eat muffins?

   You can make mini healthy muffin tins for your baby; they are simple finger food for baby 6 months, for toddlers and for older kids and adults too.

Tips and Notes:

·        Store: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months. ·        Using a measuring cup ensures that your muffins turn out a uniform size. ·        My kids prefer to eat muffins combined with fruit and yogurt ·        If you don't have any applesauce in your kitchen, don't be a worried mom, you could use apple, blueberry, and oat baby fruit pouch. they turned out the soft and sweet puree. It's a good choice too because it contains the same necessary acid and consistency. ·        These were some awesome easy muffins snacks to bake with your kids and an amazing way to introduce healthy cooking/eating for them.
