I think 9 times out of 10 we will make muffins as opposed to cupcakes although I love to make carrotcake cupcakes! I think I may just have to make these now!!
Answer:
I voted cupcake because, well because there is frosting. I do make both from the box, because I think it would be too time consuming to make them from scratch. But I have never tried to make either from scratch. Although, I did see a recipe for muffins off the box of Malt o Meal (Maple and brown sugar flavored malt o meal). I am going to give those a try.
Answer:
I love both! I usually make both from scratch, but keep a few Martha White muffin mixes on hand for emergencies (great on lean weeks, they are cheap but good). Those Morning Glory muffins sound great, I'll have to try them.
Answer:
i would have voted but there was not the choice for both!!!! i love a cupcake and i love a muffin as well...i do make them from box and from scratch just depends on my mood.
