Hmmm, I'd say it's a tie between blueberry muffins and apple cinnamon. I love the smell when they are baking, but I don't always have the time to make them from scratch, so I occasionally will by the Betty Crocker mixes. They are very good. I agree with them tasting wonderful with milk! Have to have your milk! ;)

That's a hard one to answer. I know that they have new and "fancy" flavored muffins out these days and those are good but two of my old time favorites are Blueberry and the Poppyseed muffins. Yum... I wouldn't mind having some right now!

For a fast breakfast, serve warm, whole-grain, low-fat muffins with fruit and yogurt.
These small, cake-like quick breads are yeast-free and leavened with baking soda or baking powder. They gained near-universal acclaim in the early 1980s as a “healthy” breakfast, but beware: many muffins may have more than 500 calories and 16 grams of fat.
Muffins come in a nearly endless variety of flavors—usually sweet, but sometimes tart—and may contain nuts, seeds, fruit, chocolate, spices, and other ingredients. Among the most popular flavors are bran, blueberry, and corn. They’re available in low-fat, fat-free, whole-grain, wheat-free, and dairy-free versions.
Buy muffins in the bakery section of health food and grocery stores. Choose the whole-grain and lower-fat varieties whenever possible. Store in a plastic bag at room temperature, and use within a couple of days.
Muffins are available year-round.
Preparation, uses and tips
Serve warm, whole-grain, low-fat muffins with fruit and yogurt, or soy milk, for a fast breakfast.
Blueberry muffins are a good part of our weeked breakfast. They compliment any other dish that we decide to have.

Yummy! M?y favorites are blueberry, pumpkin, apple cinnamon and banana nut muffins. I dont care much for chocolate chip and I prefer homemade over store bought. They are so simple and cheap to make, thers no sense buying them.

my fvaourite is blueberry muffins here is a lovely recipe for you hope you like it and i really want utry this
Awesome Blueberry MuffinsThese blueberry muffins get extra flavor from applesauce and spices.Ingredients:
• 2 cup(s) all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/8 tsp table salt
• 3/4 cup(s) buttermilk
• 2/3 cup(s) brown sugar
• 1 large egg(s)
• 1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup(s) unsweetened frozen blueberries
• 2 cup(s) unsweetened applesauce
Method:
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350F. Lightly spray twelve nonstick muffin cups. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until well combined. Set aside. 3. In another medium bowl, using a handheld electric mixer set at high speed, beat the buttermilk, applesauce, brown sugar, egg, oil, and vanilla until frothy, about two minutes. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk mixture. Using a spoon, mix just until moistened. Gently fold in the blueberries until the flour is incorporated. Do not over mix. 4. Divide the batter equally among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until the tops spring back when pressed gently in the center, about 20 minutes. Do not over bake. Cool in the pan on a wire cake rim for 10 minutes before removing from cups. Serve warm or cool.
Notes:
Substitute 1/4 c chocolate chips for the blueberries -- 4 points each

Out of all the types of muffins I have ever tried I would have to say that blueberry muffins are the best. When they are warm with a little bit if butter that is so good. Now I think I want one.

Oh that's a hard one. I eat the blueberry, the chocolate and the banana nut bread ones all the time. I too like those great big ones you get at the gas stations. I make homemade blueberry sometimes just by adding the blueberries to a white cake mix. Works great.

I like blueberry muffins but they're not my favorite. My favorite is the chocolate chip muffin. Especially the ones with that sugary top you can peel off. :-)

I am really not much of a muffin eater. But I will sometimes eat the chocolate ones with chocolate chips in them. A nice tall glass of milk goes with what I like too.
