They’re hot cross buns in muffin form. Flavored with orange juice, cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, these muffins have a wonderful combination of sweet and spice.

They’re also soft, moist, and buttery. And, of course, let’s not forget about that sweet and citrusy, orange juice glaze drizzled across the muffin tops.

These muffins are also peppered with raisins, candied peel, and dried apricots to add texture and even more flavor.

They might not be as dense and crumbly like regular muffins, but their light and fluffy texture will definitely get you hooked.

To give them personality, doll them up with chocolate chips or M&M candies.

They’ll look so good, no one will notice that you made them from a boxed mix.

6. Carrot Date Muffins

I once thought that putting carrots in desserts was absurd.

I stayed away from carrot-filled sweets as a kid, but when I finally got to try one, my life completely changed. I had no idea they were so good!

These carrots muffins are no exception. They’re wildly moist with a tender crumb, and the added dates give them a nice, chewy textural contrast.

No matter the day, no matter the season, blueberry muffins are always a great idea.

Because who can say no to dense yet moist muffins loaded with bright blueberries?

Who doesn’t love that lovely sensation of sweet blueberries bursting in your mouth?

These are a copycat of the Starbucks muffins. Call me biased, but I think they’re even tastier.

11. Coffee Cake Muffins

These coffee cake muffins are sweet, buttery, and cinnamony with a seriously addictive crumb topping! They truly are coffee’s perfect pair.

But let’s set the record straight – these muffins don’t contain coffee, at all.

They’re just called such because like I said, they’re best paired with coffee. I know, I was confused about this, too, at first.

12. Cinnamon Mango Muffins

As a self-confessed mango addict, I always make it a point to use this tropical fruit to flavor as many desserts as I can think of.

So when I came across this recipe, I knew I had to try it.

And boy, am I glad I did.

These muffins have a unique kind of sweetness that you can only get from ripe mangoes.

The cinnamon-sugar topping complements the muffins’ flavor very well, as well. 

13. Peach Streusel Muffins

Can’t decide between streusel and muffins? Why not combine two confections and make one heck of a dessert? This recipe is pure genius.

This peach streusel and muffin crossover has a soft, cake-like texture with a crumbly streusel on top. 

Finished off with a drizzling of vanilla glaze, these muffins are perfectly sweet, wonderfully moist, and downright delicious.
