Most muffins sold in bakeries and cafes are the sweet kind. Some cafes may have savory breakfast-type muffins. There are lots of recipes online for savory muffins filled with veggies and cheese and herbs and the like if you want to bake some up

M maggiedemi , LTS3,
You can make an egg bake recipe or a quiche in muffin cups and they would kind of be a savory muffin (and delicious!)

Blueberry even though I don't like blueberries themselves.

When I make them myself, I like blueberry the best. If I buy them, I like the pistachio or lemon poppy seed. Haven't seen the lemon poppy seed in quite a while.

Most muffins in Germany are sweet and more of a cupcake than a muffin. I prefer more of a breadlike muffin and make both cornbread and graham muffins.

This is really hard for me since I love muffins especially muffin tops. If I had to choose just one I'd probably pick zucchini.

neely , I have a muffin-top pan; it only makes muffin tops. Love muffin tops!
My favorite is blueberry muffins.
Rick loves my surprise strawberry muffins. This is a sweeter muffin with strawberry preserves baked into the middle of the muffin and a brown sugar streusel on top. He'll put a muffin in a bowl and pour milk over it and eat it that way.

And now I'm hungry for muffins.

No, really!?!

 

[LTS3]

Yes, there are muffin top pans They're very shallow so the batter bakes up as just the top part of a muffin.

Red velvet with a smooth cream in the center. Not too sweet. Not too thick or too runny. And not too much cream. But the right amount. Oh wait... is that a cupcake? Whoops.

Red velvet muffins do exist The supermarket here has them. It's just a basic red velvet batter baked up as a muffin. There's no filling.

 

[Willowy]

Yep, the pan is really shallow so the muffins are all tops and not much bottoms.

I like fruity muffins best, blueberry is most common but other berries are good too. The chocolate chocolate chip muffins from Costco are amazing, but probably have enough calories to keep most people alive for a week, lol.

They're huge too, right? The BJs ones are at least. I always split a muffin, one half to eat right away and the other half for a snack later on.

I tried a healthy version of a blueberry muffin at a popular cafe last summer. It was a disappointment Too dense and dry, not sweet, few blueberries. I think whole wheat or something else was used in place of regular white flour.

Healthy versions of stuff usually are disappointing sadly. It's better to have the real version every now and then.

Red velvet, chocolate and blueberry are my top three. I often have blueberry muffins for breakfast when I'm on my way to work, as one of the local chains here does them cheaply at a very good quality.

 

[muffy]

There was a muffin shop that made the best low fat raspberry muffins near my office. They were my favorite.

Coffee cake, pumpkin, chocolate chip, lemon blueberry.......

 

[rubysmama]

I LOVE muffins. And for a while I was on a creative spree making all sorts of combinations, then taking pictures.

Here's some I made. In order: Banana Double Chocolate, Blueberry Orange, Banana Strawberry, Cranberry Apple
