    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

morning glory muffins
Credit: Yuki Sugiura

Rise and shine! Instead of buying muffins at your local coffee shop or only indulging in them as a special treat on the weekend, we advocate for enjoying the delicious baked good any day of the week. If you're on board with that plan, you'll be pleased to know we have 24 tasty recipes to suit any mood or occasion. We're sharing all of the classics—blueberry, chocolate chip, and banana—as well as seasonal specialties and a few healthier varieties, such as the Morning Glory Muffins you see here.

Our blueberry muffin recipe is a textbook example of the perfect bake—it's a sweet but not-too-sweet muffin with a light cakey texture that is packed with two cups of fresh blueberries. While bakery-style blueberry muffins are often topped with a coarse sanding sugar for crunch and sweetness, we've taken it to the next level with a brown sugar and cinnamon crumb topping. When baking a batch of muffins for breakfast, consider giving the little quick breads a seasonal spin. In summer, is there anything more delicious than Raspberry Muffins or Peach Muffins? In fall, bake Apple-Oatmeal Muffins or go with Pumpkin Doughnut Muffins, a unique treat that hits the sweet spot between two of our favorite breakfast treats.

There's plenty of healthy muffin recipes here as well. Take these Gluten-Free Banana-Walnut Muffins for example. Mashed bananas offer plenty of potassium and brown rice flour is high in protein. For a supercharged breakfast, make our Quinoa Muffins. Still can't decide which muffin to bake? Our recipe for Better-Than-Basic Muffins comes with lots of options, so you can prepare chocolate chip, bran-raisin, and corn muffins from one easy batter.

If you ask us, your daily breakfast (or snack) just got a whole lot more delicious.

You've never had a bran muffin like this before. We've revamped the breakfast underdog with maple syrup for delicate sweetness, plain yogurt for moisture, and two forms of bran (cereal and wheat) for structure and fluffiness. At long last, this wholesome hero is stepping into the light.
