We're a big muffin family over here - they make such perfect snacks and quick breakfasts and are relatively healthy if made with good sweeteners. I'm currently snacking on a homemade PB and chocolate chip muffin which isn't super healthy but is delicious. 
What's your favorite?

Mmm! I love apple cinnamon or lemon poppy. I just saw a recipe on Weelicious for sweet potato muffins I want to try!

Pumpkin or lemon poppy. Our local grocery store makes a blueberry ricotta one that is really good.

@stine_ciro: Blueberry ricotta sounds delightful! I love plain blueberry muffins but the ricotta is such a fun take on it.

@coopsmama: Sure, it's not mine! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2009/10/pumpkin-banana-bread.html
I use just regular all-purpose flour, 2 whole eggs, and cook it for around 20-25 minutes in a muffin pan.

@lovehoneybee: Thanks for the recipe and your notes. Nice to know I can successfully use two eggs instead of tossing the one yolk. I'll be giving this one a go tomorrow -- can't wait! 
I really like freezing some of the muffin batter in muffin cups so that we can have "fresh" muffins whenever the mood strikes for breakfast. I think I'll be freezing most of these but will have to try a few out, of course!

I don't discriminate! Usually I'll go for blueberry, but I do really like bran muffins when they are dressed up with fruit or honey.

@coopsmama: I'm sure it's a little bit healthier without the extra yolk but...eh! I didn't notice a difference in taste!

I think I like them all! At least I cannot think of a true favorite at the moment.

Oh gosh, it's hard to choose! I like cranberry orange, but DH likes some I make that are sour cream muffins filled with apple butter. @coopsmama: If your family loves baking muffins, William Sonoma has a cookbook just called "Muffins" that's awesome. It's got coffee cakes and savory muffins too, and I've yet to make one that isn't delicious.

@cheesetomywhine: Absolutely! I use this recipe: http://heavenlyhomemakers.com/peanut-butter-chocolate-chip-muffins and use white whole wheat flour (or pastry whole wheat could be a good alternative). They are divine!
@rattles: I will have to check it out! Muffins are one of our breakfast mainstays.

@mfa_lady: I highly recommend them and a lot of recipes off that site actually. They are healthier than the average recipe and SO tasty!
