Blueberry Muffins

“Blueberry Muffins” The story of muffins dates back to medieval England in the 12th century in London when they were sold by street vendors called “muffin men,” carrying trays on their heads. They were made of a dough and yeast, resembling bread due to their flat shape. The current English muffins are somewhat similar. However, in the late 19th century, when baking powder was invented, it led to the evolution of the muffin’s shape, especially in America, where they became larger and sweeter.

As time passed, muffin production evolved, with various shapes and additions like fruits, nuts, and chocolate. Muffins can have different meanings in the United States and Canada, where they are sweet and resemble cupcakes, unlike the United Kingdom, where muffins can sometimes be savory, more similar to bread. Today, muffins are simple daily pastries, an easy choice for light meals like breakfast, and a suitable option for children’s school lunchboxes and special occasions.
