Grab some flour and a mixing bowl because National Muffin Day is almost here and it’s time to start baking! With everything from healthy breakfast muffins to fluffy muffins with a savory twist, you’re sure to spread some happiness to friends and family!
What Is National Muffin Day?
National Muffin Day is more than a fun food holiday, it’s a muffin movement! Every year on February 20th, folks across the country walk around handing out muffins to people experiencing homelessness in their city.
This holiday is about more than spreading awareness, it’s about supporting your local community through a symbol of kindness. It’s amazing to think that one yummy, selfless act can help spread hope and happiness to so many people!
Of course, if you’re going to be baking for the masses, you’ll need some good recipes! I have compiled a list of the BEST muffin recipes ever, ranging from classics like bran and blueberry to breakfast muffins like bacon cheddar, and even a couple of recipes that might as well be dessert!
I encourage you to click here to find more information about this amazing movement and continue to spread awareness!
