What is the difference between muffins and cupcakes?
There seems to be much debate over what makes a muffin different from a cupcake.
Muffins are larger and denser than cupcakes and may also have a topping. If they have one, they usually have a topping. This could be a sprinkle of mix-in ingredients, icing, or special crumb topping. Cupcakes, on the other side, are almost always finished in frosting.
This is how banana muffins are made. They’re sweeter than the original, but they don’t have any topping. In a moment, we’ll find out!

One-Bowl Banana Bread Batter
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place butter in a microwaveable or on the stovetop. Keep aside.
- Add the peeled bananas to a large bowl and mash them with a fork. It should look like baby food, with very small pieces.
- Mix in the melted butter. Use a spatula to mix.
- Mix eggs with vanilla extract.
- Mix flour with 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and baking soda until well combined.
- Mix the reserved flour with the chocolate chips to prevent them from sinking. Mix the batter in a bowl.
- Use cupcake liners to line a muffin tray. Fill the muffin tray with ice cream using a scoop.
- Bake the tray on the middle rack for 17-18 minutes or until a toothpick or knife is clean. You can return it for another 1-2 minutes depending upon how wet it was.
- After the baking process is completed, take out the tray from the oven and let it cool for five minutes. The muffins can be removed from the tray with a knife or thin spatula. Once they are cool, transfer them to a wire rack.
Enjoy warm or cooled!
