Muffins

Muffins are a type of baked good, typically characterized by their small, rounded shape and soft texture. They are made from a batter that usually includes flour, sugar, eggs, milk, and a leavening agent like baking powder. Muffins can be either sweet or savory, with sweet varieties often containing ingredients like fruits, nuts, or chocolate chips, while savory muffins may include ingredients such as cheese, herbs, or vegetables.Muffins are often classified into two main categories: American muffins, which are usually light and cake-like, and English muffins, which are round, flat, and typically split and toasted before serving. American muffins are baked in individual portions in muffin tins, resulting in a slightly domed top, while English muffins are cooked on a griddle or stovetop.The versatility of muffins allows for a wide range of flavors and add-ins, making them popular for breakfast, snacks, or desserts. They are commonly enjoyed fresh or toasted, often accompanied by butter or spreads.
