Founded by husband-and-wife duo Amy and Jeremy, who left their full-time jobs to pursue their culinary passions, AJ Delights was established in 2012 and quickly became a cult favourite among muffin lovers. They currently operate two outlets—their original location at Alexandra Village Food Centre and another at Fusionopolis in One-north—and have found success with their German-style streusel muffins, distinguished by their buttery, crumbly topping, alongside a selection of close to 30 flavours.
Some of the best-selling flavours include their Cookies and Cream ($3.40), Chocolate Streusel ($3.40), Raspberry Streusel ($3.95), and Green Tea Almond ($3.40). Each muffin is generously sized and satisfyingly hefty, making it substantial enough to keep you full—it could even double as a light meal!

2. Uggli Muffins

True to its name, Uggli Muffins‘ bakes are not the prettiest you’ll find, but they certainly don’t compromise on flavour. Their irregular, oddly shaped appearance may seem roughly put together compared to the picture-perfect muffins flooding social media, but that is all part of the appeal. Uggli Muffins traces its roots back to 2006, when owner Anton Tan took over his family’s tze char business, which had been serving customers since 1969, and launched the muffin concept that would become the brand’s signature.
Priced at $1.70 each, their repertoire of flavours includes sweet options such as Baby Oreo, Baby Chocolate, Baby Peanut Butter, and Baby Banana Walnut. If you prefer something savoury, there are also flavours such as Baby Chicken Floss with mayonnaise, Baby XO Scallop, Baby Longan Walnut, and Baby Korean Kimchi.

Residents in Tampines will likely be familiar with SL II Muffin, formerly known as See Lian Cake Shop, a traditional bakery that has been a long-standing fixture in the neighbourhood since the 1980s. Now helmed by the second generation, the family business has pivoted to specialise in affordable muffins and has since expanded to three other outlets in Bukit Timah Interim Wet Market & Food Centre, Hong Lim Market & Food Centre, and at Golden Mile Food Centre.
With over 20 muffin flavours starting at $1.90, you can choose from classics such as Blueberry, Lemon, Chocolate Chip, Walnut, and Strawberry, or opt for more adventurous options including Mango Green Tea ($2.20) and Cranberry Orange ($2.20). Beyond muffins, their egg tarts are also a favourite among regulars, with the classic Egg Tart ($1.90) and Coconut Tart ($1.90) proving especially popular. Alternatively, try the Peach Tart ($2.20) or Mixed Nuts Tart ($2.20) for something a little different.

4. Pretty Good Muffins
It takes some courage to set expectations with a name like Pretty Good Muffins, but many would argue the bakes are much better than just “pretty good”. Beyond being a playful reference to the quality of their products, the name is also an abbreviation of the three founders’ names. Tucked away in Hong Lim Complex, this hole-in-the-wall bakery is known for serving quality bakes at wallet-friendly prices.
They offer 15 different muffin flavours daily, with prices starting from $1.40 for the Almond, $1.50 for the Apple, $3 for the Cranberry, and $4.50 for the Crunchy Valrhona Chocolate. Alongside classic favourites such as the Blueberry ($1.50) and Seasalt Nutella ($1.80), you will also find trendier flavours like Pistachio Kunafa ($2.20) and Matcha Oreo ($2.40).

5. Bake n Bites
Most people expect muffins to be served warm or piping hot, but Bake N Bites does things differently. Tucked away in a corner of Golden Mile Food Centre, the bakery has spent the past 17 years perfecting its signature chilled muffins, which are best enjoyed cold.
Don’t be too quick to dismiss them as rock hard—you will be surprised by their texture. Despite being served chilled, each muffin is moist and fluffy, with a cool mouthfeel. The bestselling Triple Chocolate Muffin ($3.20) is a standout, offering a rich bittersweet cocoa flavour studded with dark chocolate chips. Other options include the Fresh Orange Muffin ($3), Walnut Banana Muffin ($3), and other treats such as the Chewy Brownie ($4.80) and Chicken Rendang Pie ($3).

Founded by former corporate worker David Lim, Ah Tas Muffins was born out of his lifelong passion for baking.

Besides favourites such as Classic Banana ($3.20), Chocolate Oreo ($3.60), Blueberry Granola ($3.90, and Matcha Walnut ($4), be sure to try the Triple Cheese ($4.20), studded with a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and an undisclosed European cheese.

Don’t let its low profile fool you—Muffin Homme at Bukit Canberra Hawker Centre is one of the most underrated bakeries on this list, and one that’s sure to surprise you. The quality of their bakes easily rivals other established names, and best of all, none of its freshly baked treats cost more than $2.50.
Flavours on offer include Cranberry Cream Cheese ($2.30), Matcha White Chocolate Chip ($2.30), Double Chocolate ($2.30), Blueberry Streusel ($2.30), and Apple Crumble ($2.30).
