Which is worse, a croissant or a muffin?

Question

Which one is more fattening...

Answer 1

A croissant is much more fattening. The main item in a croissant is butter which is used as a leavening agent 100%. Muffin has calories but nothing compared to a croissant. I used to make the croissant dough: it is like 8 pounds of butter to maybe 3 pounds of flour. This is what makes a croissant taste so good but its worth it

Answer 2

That depends on the muffin. Croissants are high in carbs because it's considered a "white bread". A whole grain or wheat muffin is far better for you, however, if it's a choc, chip Muffin or a super sized muffin, the muffin could be worse. Check the package labels and compare.

Answer 3

Calories Of Croissant

Answer 4

I think normal sized croissant is more fattening when compare with strawberry (or blueberry) muffin. But triple chocolate muffin could be more fattening than croissant.

Answer 5

Well it would depend of course on what kind of muffin, but we'll assume it's your average coffee shop muffin and your average croissant.
By weight, a croissant definitely has more fat, however a muffin weighs a LOT more than a muffin, so one regular sized muffin has more fat than one regular sized croissant.
Your best bet of course would be a home-made fat-free or low-fat muffin!

Answer 6

Croissant by far....... A croissant has a ton of butter in it. 1croissant has 10 g of fat, 180 calories 90 of which are fat calories, 2.5 g saturated fat, 2.5 g of trans fat, 370 mg sodium, 20 g carbs.
I would imagine that that a bran muffin is considerably less.

Answer 7

Croissant has more fat to make the dough flaky....on the other hand muffins are bigger, I'd check the label.

Answer 8

I would say muffins are the worst. It also depends on what kind as well. Muffins are loaded with carbs. See links below.

Answer 9

probably a croissant

Answer 10

def. a croissant.
