There are an almost unlimited number of combinations of ingredients that can go into muffins, so "complete" might be a bit of an exaggeration in the title of this book. That being said, The Complete Muffin Cookbook: The Ultimate Guide To Making Great Muffins does provide a very well-rounded selection of muffins and anyone who enjoys them would be more than happy with a book that provides the variety that this one does.

These muffins, according to the author, are not cupcake substitutes (there are plenty of cookbooks out there already if that's what you're looking for). They are "not only wholesome and nutritious but also delicious, heart-healthy, immensely satisfying, and suitable for enjoying any time of day." The recipes use a wide range of regular and whole wheat flours, fresh fruits, spices and other high-quality ingredients to turn out muffins both sweet and savory, like French Onion Soup Muffins, Glazed Sunrise Blueberry Muffins, Bananas Foster Muffins and Lemon Ginger Muffins. Some of the muffin recipes are even low in fat, making them an all the more enjoyable indulgence.

Easy to read and even easier to make, the recipes in this book will be the type that you turn to again and again. And with over 200 to choose from, there are sure to be at least a few that turn into favorites.
