A SHORT HISTORY OF THE MUFFIN

Did you know that muffins were initially made with leftover bread, biscuit dough and potatoes as a meal for the less fortunate? 

The muffin dates to the early 11th century in Wales, and has gained popularity to become the classic companion to afternoon tea. 

It was only in the 19th century that the recipe for muffins crossed the Atlantic to reach North America, where it evolved into the American-style muffin we know and love. Unlike their English counterparts, American muffins are usually made with baking powder.

Nowadays, a lot of different regional varieties exist, like the blueberry muffin in Minnesota and the apple muffins in New York. Which version makes most sense for your business?
