A muffin is a small, baked good that is typically round and has a soft, moist texture. It is made from a batter that usually includes flour, sugar, eggs, and a leavening agent like baking powder. Muffins can be sweet or savory and are often enjoyed as a breakfast item or snack. Common flavors include blueberry, chocolate chip, and banana nut. Muffins are often baked in individual portions using a muffin tin, which has several cup-shaped molds. They can be served plain or topped with ingredients like streusel or icing. Muffins are popular in many cultures and can be found in cafes and bakeries worldwide, often alongside other baked goods like scones and croissants.
