There seems to be an awful lot of it over here.

Which one would people figure is best for making muffins?

This recipe recommends erikoisvehnäjauhoja or special wheat flour or hiivaleipäjauhoja.

The first one is the brand and type of flour that I use. I recommend it for muffins. I bake just about anything with it except yeast bread. I always use hiivaleipäjauhoja for yeast bread.

Me too.

BTW, there is no raising agent in Finnish flour (in UK you can get self-raising flour which contains baking powder). I prefer to buy plain flour anyway and add my own. In UK we call hiivaleipäjauhoja "strong plain flour". I would probably use that for making British muffins (which are more like baps, or bread rolls), but I assume you mean regular American muffins.
