Directions
If you ever wonder how “brunches” are started, how to start your weekend in the best mood, how to surprise someone with the smallest effort… let me tell you the secret: it’s always with some sort of muffins.
This type of muffin (let’s not confuse with “English muffins”) is originated in the United States at the mid 19th century, it is considered a “quick bread” due to one of its ingredients, the leavening agent, baking powder. These delicious pieces of heaven can be eaten in 2-4 bites and can be developed in either both savory and sweet versions.
Among the most traditional muffin versions are, in its sweet version the blueberry, chocolate chips muffins, and its savory version the corn and cheese muffins.
Today we introduce a new variant with more veggies and tasting like grandma just cooked it!
