The name muffin is given to three distinct foodstuffs.
The first is a small, sweet, cake-like baked good, commonly eaten for breakfast, made from a variety of different batters, usually raised with baking powder. They are often flavoured with things such as chocolate chips or fruit pieces.
The other is a thick, flat, yeast-levened bun, typically about eight centimetres in diameter. This muffin is usually split into two, toasted and buttered, and bears resemblance to the crumpet. In American English this is also known as an English muffin.
