A muffin is a small, soft baked bread or cake, usually eaten for breakfast or as a snack. In American English, it's often sweet, like a muffin, shaped a bit like a small cupcake. In British English, an 'English muffin' is very different - a flat, plain, round bread that is split in half and toasted, often used like toast.
